1956 Map of New Deal
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
New Deal serves as the central hub of this High Plains landscape, situated along the corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The map illustrates a period of mid-century growth as the Lubbock metropolitan area expanded northward. This expansion is most evident in the development of the Lubbock Regional Airport and the neighboring City of Lubbock Industrial Area, which anchor the southern portion of the sheet. The terrain is characterized by the winding path of Blackwater Draw, where localized activity is marked by Gravel Pits and the recreational grounds of the Lubbock Country Club. In the eastern section, the small settlement of Liberty stands near the intersection of the secondary rail line, the Fort Worth and Denver, showing the vital role of transportation networks in the region's agricultural and industrial layout.
