1971 Map of Westway

About this map

Tierra Blanca Creek carves a distinct path through this high plains landscape of Deaf Smith, Texas, revealing a terrain defined by groundwater management and small-scale settlement. The small community of Westway sits near the center of the sheet, while the nearby Burks settlement highlights the localized nature of cattle ranching and farming operations during this era. The map is heavily marked by numerous Wells, indicating the critical reliance on the Ogallala Aquifer for agricultural irrigation and livestock. Industrial activity is visible in the form of multiple Gravel Pits and a solitary Gravel Pit located along the creek's drainage, while a Radio Tower stands as a modern landmark on the open plains.
