1976 Map of Wolfforth NE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Agricultural patterns dominate this orthophotoquad of the High Plains near Lubbock in the mid-1970s. The most prominent natural feature is the winding course of Yellow House Draw, which cuts across the upper half of the landscape. This drainage channel, historically significant as a water source in the semi-arid Llano Estacado, is captured here as it appeared in March 1976. The surrounding terrain is an intensive grid of center-pivot irrigation circles and rectangular fields, illustrating the scale of West Texas cotton and grain production during this era. The aerial photography highlights the intersection of natural topography and human engineering, showing how the draw's meandering path interacts with the rigid boundaries of the local road and section network.
