1965 Map of Nazareth SW

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The High Plains landscape of Castro County in the mid-1960s appears here as an intricate mosaic of depressions and agricultural development. The terrain is defined by numerous playa lakes, many containing scattered Well sites that suggest the intensive irrigation practices foundational to the region's ranching and farming economy. A prominent Pipeline traverses the northwestern section, while a long east-west thoroughfare connects the area toward neighboring Nazareth and Dimmitt. Local landmarks are sparse but specific, including a Storage Bin and the small named locality of Schmucker in the southeast. Fine dashed lines delineate selected fence lines across the sectioned grid, illustrating the methodical division of the Texas Panhandle into large-scale agricultural tracts during this era of post-war stabilization.
