1976 Map of Wolfforth SW

About this map

Smyer stands as the primary hub of human activity within this orthophotoquad, centered in a landscape of high-plains agriculture on the Texas South Plains. Taken in the mid-1970s, the imagery reveals the striking geometric precision of West Texas farming, where the grid of rural roads and circular center-pivot irrigation patterns dominate the terrain. These circular signatures, many centered around natural playas or depressions, provide a clear record of the region's reliance on groundwater extraction during this era of agricultural intensification. The concentration of structures and street layouts in Smyer provides a distinct point of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of small Hockley County communities during the late twentieth century.
