1962 Map of Springlake

About this map

Springlake is the central hub of this 1962 landscape in Lamb County, surrounded by a high density of wells that speak to the intense agricultural irrigation of the Texas Panhandle. The map reveals a structured rural community at mid-century, anchored by the Community Hall and the nearby Springlake School 0.6 Mi.. The terrain is remarkably level, punctuated only by shallow depressions and an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure. This survey captures a specific moment in the region's development, characterized by a grid of property boundaries and a significant industrial presence marked by a prominent Pipeline traversing the territory. The abundance of labeled wells across the sheet illustrates the critical role of groundwater management during this era of Texas water history.
