1968 Map of Benge Corner

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Johnson Draw carves a path through the Permian Basin landscape, defining the topography of this high plains region in the late 1960s. The area is dominated by the industrial infrastructure of the Pegasus Oil Field, where a dense network of pipelines and scattered oil wells reflects the intensive petroleum extraction of the era. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the crossroads at Benge Corner, located near the Midland Co and Upton Co line. An indefinite boundary separates the two counties, crossing open ranch land where fine red dashed lines denote the presence of property fences. The presence of numerous gravel pits and specialized drilling infrastructure highlights a landscape repurposed for resource extraction, offering a clear view of the mid-century oil boom's physical footprint on the West Texas terrain.
