1966 Map of Overstreet Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Palo Duro Creek carves a winding path through the high plains of Deaf Smith County in this mid-1960s topographic record. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral waters of Overstreet Lake and the essential infrastructure of the local ranching and agricultural economy, represented by numerous points labeled simply as Well. These water sources are the lifeblood of the Texas Panhandle, where the surface is otherwise characterized by the steady rise of elevation contours across the Llano Estacado. The map reveals a sparsely populated terrain where the intersection of natural drainage and man-made water improvements dictates the layout of the land, providing a clear view of the area's geography before significant modern intensive development or consolidation of property.
