About this map

Tulia serves as the focal point of this High Plains survey, positioned at a critical junction of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and regional highways. The town's mid-century infrastructure is well-defined, showing a concentrated civic core with the Courthouse, City Hall, and the Armory. Educational and community spaces are prominent, including the High School, Junior High School, and Adair Park.

Surrounding the settlement, the landscape is defined by the ephemeral courses of North Tule Draw and Middle Tule Draw, while an Aqueduct and numerous wells underscore the intensive water management required for the area's agricultural and municipal needs. Rural landmarks such as Rose Hill Cemetery and the Tulia-Swisher County Airport sit on the periphery, alongside cultural markers like a Drive-in Theater. The presence of a Gravel Pit and several storage bins reflect the local industrial economy during this era of growth.
