About this map

Agricultural patterns and the distinct playa lakes of the Texas South Plains define this 1976 orthophotoquad. The landscape is dominated by a grid of farm roads and large, circular irrigation patterns that surround the small settlements of Woodrow and Union. Unlike standard topographic maps, this rectified aerial imagery provides a clear view of the land use and farmstead placements at the height of the 1970s, showing the specific layout of fields and structures as they existed in the Lubbock area. The orthophoto format allows for the direct observation of the geological depressions common to this region, which appear as dark, irregular circles scattered across the cultivated plains.
