1971 Map of Westway NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Agricultural water management dominates this high plains landscape of Deaf Smith County during the early 1970s. The survey reveals a terrain defined by subtle topographic depressions and an extensive network of groundwater extraction points, marked simply as Well or Wells across the quadrangle. These features indicate the vital role of irrigation and livestock watering in this region of the Texas Panhandle, where surface water is scarce and reliance on the underlying aquifer is absolute. The map's contour lines illustrate the undulating surface of the Llano Estacado, providing a precise record of the land before modern center-pivot irrigation systems further transformed the local ranching and farming practices.
