About this map

Agricultural patterns and the distinct playa lake basins of the Texas South Plains define this 1976 orthophotoquad. The landscape is dominated by the geometric precision of center-pivot irrigation and terraced fields, reflecting the intensive cotton and grain farming characteristic of the region. Amidst this high-production acreage, the small community of Slide serves as the primary focal point of settlement. The orthophoto format provides a clear, unvarnished look at the physical terrain as it existed in the mid-1970s, showing the numerous natural depressions or 'playas' that dot the landscape and collect seasonal runoff. This view captures the rural infrastructure of Lubbock County just as modern irrigation technology was fully reshaping the local economy and land use.
