1969 Map of Tahoka SW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Wells Ch and numerous scattered Wells define the agricultural landscape of this corner of Lynn County in the late 1960s. The terrain is characterized by a high density of depressions and seasonal water features, common in the Llano Estacado, which dictated the placement of local infrastructure and dwellings. The sheer volume of individual Well and Wells labels across the sheet illustrates the critical importance of groundwater management for the rural Texas High Plains during this era. This 1969 survey, produced in cooperation with the State of Texas Water Development Board, serves as a high-resolution record of the region's hydrography and rural community structure before modern irrigation and development altered many of these original landmarks.
