1962 Map of Stegall

About this map

Stegall anchors the southern portion of this 1962 landscape in Bailey County, representing a modest hub in an area defined by agricultural development and natural depressions. The High Plains terrain is notably punctuated by Coyote Lake in the northeast, a prominent alkaline basin that serves as a focal point for the surrounding topography. The survey reveals a sparse but deliberate network of human activity, where numerous wells and several instances of a Gravel Pit indicate the local reliance on groundwater and geological resources. Fine red dashed lines throughout the sheet delineate selected fence lines, tracing the boundaries of large ranching and farming tracts that dominated the region during the early 1960s. This map provides a clear record of the rural infrastructure at a time when the West Texas landscape was being systematically organized by industrial and agricultural interests.
