1965 Map of Wake

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The small community of Wake serves as a focal point in this 1960s survey of the High Plains landscape, where the transition between flat tableland and the eroded breaks is clearly defined. The terrain is marked by numerous depression features and Well sites, reflecting a landscape heavily dependent on groundwater management. In the northern reaches, the Antelope Cem stands as a quiet marker of early settlement history, while the Plains Windmill signifies the vital infrastructure required for ranching in this arid region. To the east, the topography shifts dramatically as the land drops away into the drainage of Rustler Creek, revealing the intricate canyon systems common along the edge of the Caprock. This map also preserves the intersecting boundaries of four counties—Floyd, Crosby, Motley, and Dickens—mapping a complex administrative junction.
