1963 Map of Adams

About this map

The O Harrow Oil Field and various Oil Wells define the industrial landscape of this Schleicher County terrain in the early 1960s. Located north of North Valley, the area is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Poor Hollow, Otto Hollow, and East Poor Hollow. The presence of an extensive Aboveground Pipeline cutting across the landscape highlights the mid-century infrastructure required to transport petroleum from remote Texas fields. Small-scale extraction is further evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits and scattered Gas Wells throughout the territory. The small settlement of Adams serves as a local point of reference within this complex network of draws and ridges, which include the prominent Montgomery rise. This survey illustrates the transition from traditional ranching lands to an active energy-production corridor.
