1971 Map of Walcott

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Walcott and the nearby settlement of Valentine anchor this 1971 survey of the High Plains in Deaf Smith County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Palo Duro Creek as it cuts through the terrain in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle. Outside of these primary hubs, the map reveals a sparsely populated agricultural or ranching environment where the distribution of water was critical to local survival and industry. This importance is underscored by the numerous scattered Well and Wells labels across the sheet, marking vital points of groundwater access on the flat Texas Panhandle. The topography is meticulously detailed with five-foot contour intervals, capturing the subtle depressions and rises that often escape the eye but dictate the flow of seasonal drainage into the creek system.
