1969 Map of Ashmore

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Adair Oil Field dominates the landscape of the South Plains in the late 1960s, illustrating the heavy industrial footprint of petroleum extraction across the border of Gaines and Terry Counties. This survey captures a terrain marked by numerous oil wells and a centralized Refinery, set against the subtle topography of Sulphur Springs Draw. Small rural settlements like Adair, Ashmore, and White serve as the primary hubs for the local population, connected by a rigid grid of section roads and fence lines. The presence of a Gravel Pit further underscores the resource-driven economy of the region. This map is a significant record for those tracing the industrial evolution of the Texas Panhandle, showing the exact placement of individual wells and infrastructure that defined the area during this era of peak production.
