1966 Map of Tulia NW

About this map

The High Plains landscape of the Texas Panhandle unfolds across this mid-1960s survey, defined by the drainage patterns of North Tule Draw and Happy Draw. This era in Swisher County shows a sparse agricultural and industrial footprint, characterized by the introduction of energy infrastructure such as a long-distance Pipeline and a Radio Tower. The map documents the intersection of three counties, where the boundaries of Randall, Castro, and Swisher meet. The terrain is marked by numerous natural depressions and small basins typical of the Llano Estacado, providing a clear record of the area's hydrology before modern land-use changes. Near the southern edge, a Substation serves as a lone marker of utility development in this primarily rural expanse.
