1956 Map of Shallowater
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The town of Shallowater serves as a focal point on this Llano Estacado landscape, where the flat plains are interrupted by the distinct winding path of Yellow House Draw. The era’s transportation and utility infrastructure is clearly defined, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cutting diagonally across the quadrangle, paralleled by a protective Levee. This mid-century survey reveals the community's development through features like the Athletic Fields and Sewage Disposal plant. Further east, the Radio Range Sta highlights the importance of regional aviation and communication technology during the 1950s. The presence of a Gravel Pit and the Hillcrest Golf Course shows the varied land use between industrial extraction and emerging recreational spaces on the outskirts of Lubbock County.
