1970 Map of Ackerly
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The town of Ackerly sits at a geographic crossroads on the High Plains, where the borders of Dawson, Martin, Borden, and Howard counties meet. This 1970s record illustrates a landscape defined by its primary industries: agriculture and petroleum. Extensive Oil Field operations dominate the northeastern portion of the quadrangle, with numerous wells and pipelines interspersed among the ephemeral drainages of Wolf Mill Creek and Rattlesnake Creek. Local life centers around the town site, which features the Sands Sch, a Substa, and several Water Tanks. Genealogists will find the Fairhaven Cem south of town and an additional Cem to the north, providing key markers of the community's history. The outlying settlement of Davenport further illustrates the dispersed nature of habitation across these expansive West Texas plains.
