1969 Map of Tahoka

About this map

The High Plains of Lynn County center on the growing town of Tahoka, where the Atchison Topeka And Santa Fe railway and U.S. Highway 87 intersect. This 1969 survey, revised in 1981, illustrates the expansion of the town's residential footprint along streets like Lockwood St and Main St. The surrounding landscape is defined by the unique hydrology of the Llano Estacado, featuring numerous ephemeral wells and the prominent alkaline depressions of Tahoka Lake and Guthrie Lake. Agriculture and ranching infrastructure appear across the plains, evidenced by features such as the High Lonesome Windmill and Hook Windmill. The map also captures local recreation and utility hubs, including a Golf Course, the T Bar Airfield, and various Roadside Parks along the primary highway corridors.
