1956 Map of New Deal
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River cuts a distinct path through the High Plains landscape just north of Lubbock, where the 1950s economy was defined by a combination of agriculture, aviation, and expanding industry. The Lubbock Municipal Airport serves as a central hub, detailed with its Administration Bldg and Hangars, adjacent to the emerging City of Lubbock Industrial Area. Transport corridors are dominated by the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway and U.S. 87, which anchor the small settlement of New Deal. The map also captures local recreation at the Lubbock Country Club and early resource extraction at various Gravel Pits along the river's edge. Numerous wells are scattered across the quadrangle, illustrating the vital role of groundwater in sustaining the region's farms and small communities like Liberty.
