1969 Map of Providence

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Providence and the surrounding agricultural landscape define this 1969 survey of the High Plains, where the borders of Swisher, Hale, and Floyd counties converge. The terrain is marked by numerous ephemeral water features and depressional basins, notably Rock Draw, alongside an extensive network of irrigation wells. Industrial activity is centered on the cotton economy, as evidenced by the Providence Gin and Crume Gin located in the southern portion of the quadrangle. A small settlement at Barrett and a remote Landing Strip illustrate the area's specialized transportation and infrastructure needs during this era of late-century farming development. This map provides a detailed record of the West Texas landscape before extensive modernization, capturing the exact placement of rural landmarks and the precise county lines that shaped local governance and land ownership.
