1971 Map of Whiteface NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Morton sits on the western edge of this High Plains landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural and industrial activity of Cochran County. The map captures a transition from the structured street grid of the town to a vast expanse punctuated by the Levelland and Slaughter Oil and Gas Field, indicating the area's heavy reliance on petroleum extraction. Local social and civic life is anchored by landmarks like St Ann Church, the Morton Country Club, and the Rodeo Ground. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes such as Ramsey Hill and various depressions, while the infrastructure of the County Airport and a scattering of water tanks and wells highlights the logistical needs of this semi-arid region during the early 1970s.
