About this map

Owens sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Crosby County, situated on the vast, flat expanse of the Llano Estacado. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a highly developed system of groundwater extraction, with dozens of irrigation wells dotting the grid-patterned terrain. This infrastructure was essential for the region's intensive cotton and grain production, marking a period when mechanized irrigation transformed West Texas farming. Near the settlement, a Water Tank and a dedicated Landing Strip serve the local community, reflecting the necessity of aerial crop dusting and localized water storage in this semi-arid environment. The sharp contrast of the Caprock Escarpment begins to emerge in the southeastern corner, where the level plains give way to the broken, deeply eroded draws and canyons that define the edge of the High Plains.
