About this map

Reese Air Force Base dominates the northeastern portion of this High Plains landscape, reflecting the military's significant presence in the region during the mid-1980s. Adjacent to the base, Reese Village and the settlement of Hurlwood suggest a community closely tied to the installation, supported by local amenities like a Golf Course and a Trailer Park. To the southeast, the town of Wolfforth appears as a growing hub, featuring its own Athletic Field and a nearby Cemetery.

The terrain is marked by a distinctive pattern of countless depressions and water-management features, including the Aqueduct (U.S.) and numerous pipelines. Industrial activity is visible at the Gravel Pit and a utility Substation, while the boundary between Lubbock Co and Hockey Co bisects the western half of the map. This survey captures a moment when defense operations and rural development coexisted on the West Texas plains.
