1973 Map of Stratford 2 SW

About this map

Red Cow Draw winds across this section of the Texas Panhandle, defining the drainage patterns of the high plains in Dallam County. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the landscape is primarily characterized by its vast open terrain and agricultural infrastructure. Human imprint is visible through scattered ranching or resource extraction points, including a Drill Hole and several instances of a Well located throughout the survey area. These features suggest the vital importance of water and subsurface management in this semi-arid region during the post-war era. The map serves as a precise record of the topography and land use before subsequent decades of modern development, focusing on the essential relationship between the seasonal watercourse of the draw and the surrounding prairie.
