1985 Map of Spade
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Spade sits at the heart of this High Plains landscape in Lamb County, centered within a vast network of agricultural resources during the mid-1980s. The settlement's layout and surrounding lands reflect the intensive irrigation practices of the Llano Estacado, indicated by the repetitive presence of Well sites that dot nearly every section of the survey. A prominent Pipeline cuts across the western portion of the terrain, moving essential resources through this productive corner of the Texas Panhandle. The topography is defined by subtle depressions and rises, such as 3566at and 3543at, which illustrate the gentle but significant drainage patterns characteristic of the region's playa-rich environment. This survey captures a specific moment in the evolution of West Texas agribusiness, documenting the exact placement of local infrastructure and water access points vital to the community's survival.
