1965 Map of Wilson
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The town of Wilson anchors this mid-century survey of the High Plains, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line cuts a straight diagonal through a landscape defined by depressions and intermittent basins. To the southwest, the expansive Tahoka Lake and the smaller Hidden Lake provide significant topographic relief in an area otherwise dominated by agriculture and localized infrastructure. This 1965 survey highlights the community's local foundations, including the St Paul Sch and the Green Memorial Park (Cem). Evidence of local industry and transport is scattered across the quadrangle, from a distributed Landing Strip and multiple Quarry sites to a Radio Tower and Pumping Sta. The map's detailed topography, featuring five-foot intervals, clearly delineates the playa lakes and drainage patterns essential to understanding the hydrology of Lynn County during this era.
