High Plains - South of Amarillo Texas

This image shows farming areas of the Texas high plains south of Amarillo. The farms in this region rely on water pumped from the Ogalalla aquifer to irrigate crops. When viewed from afar, this image looks like a chaotic jumble of colored circles and wedges, but, when viewed more closely, the image shows its true nature as crops and fields in various stages of irrigation.

The area covered by this image is approximately 24x36 miles.
