About this map

The town of Wilson anchors this agricultural landscape in Lynn County, showing a organized grid of streets such as Green Ave and 13th St centered near Green Memorial Park. This high plains region is characterized by significant playa lake features, most notably the expansive Tahoka Lake and the nearby Hidden Lake in the southwestern portion of the map. These natural depressions are vital components of the local hydrology, contrasting with the rigid geometry of the surrounding section roads and farm-to-market routes.

A network of county roads including Co Rd 7 and Co Rd BB connects the outlying farmsteads to the central hub at Wilson. The infrastructure depicted, from FM 400 to the various numbered county lines, reflects a landscape dedicated to large-scale ranching and farming operations typical of the Texas South Plains. Researchers can trace the layout of this small community and its relationship to the significant water bodies that have historically defined human settlement in this semi-arid environment.
