1976 Map of New Home SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The agricultural grid of the Texas South Plains is sharply defined in this 1976 orthophotograph, centered on the community of New Home. This specialized imagery captures the circular patterns of center-pivot irrigation and the distinctive playa lakes that dot the high plains landscape. These ephemeral wetlands appear as dark, irregular basins within the structured fields of Lynn County, illustrating the environmental conditions of the Llano Estacado. To the southwest, the small settlement of Petty sits at a rural crossroads, surrounded by the wide-open cultivated acreage that defines the region's cotton and grain production. The map provides a rare visual record of land use and farmstead placement during the mid-1970s, before modern development further altered the rural footprint.
