1985 Map of Vega

About this map

Vega stands at a central junction on this mid-1980s planimetric survey of the Texas Panhandle, where the high plains break into the drainage systems of the Canadian River. This period shows the region's established ranching and agricultural grid, with the Burlington Northern line serving the grain-elevator settlements of Adrian, Landergin, and Wildorado. The landscape is defined by its water sources, including Randall Lake and Red Windmill Lake, which supported livestock across the vast reaches of Oldham and Deaf Smith counties.
