1963 Map of Olton

About this map

The town of Olton serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in the Texas Panhandle, as documented in 1963 with updates from 1979. The surrounding terrain is characterized by a dense network of water wells and storage basins, illustrating the intensive irrigation required for farming in Lamb County. To the west, the small settlement of Circle sits at a highway junction, while the presence of a massive Feedlot and a Pipeline cutting across the northwest corner highlights the area's industrial agricultural and energy infrastructure. Local social life and entertainment during this period are represented by the Olton Country Club, a Drive-in Theater, and a Drag Strip on the eastern edge of town. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for the High Sch and various municipal structures that defined the community mid-century.
