About this map

The High Plains of Lynn County are defined by a high concentration of depressions and intermittent Well sites, reflecting the agricultural adaptation of the Llano Estacado. The settlement of Wayside serves as the primary focal point, accompanied by a prominent Radio Tower that stands as a landmark on the flat horizon. This 1985 survey illustrates the modern industrial overlay on the rural landscape, including a Substation, an Aqueduct, and several Double Wooden Pole Power Lines that cross the grid-patterned terrain. The sparse distribution of named features emphasizes the open, utility-driven nature of the region, where infrastructure like the Pipeline and the north-south corridor of U.S. Route 87 provide the essential framework for a community centered on water management and energy transmission.
