About this map

Industrial infrastructure and ranching operations intersect in this West Texas landscape, defined by the extensive Pegasus Oil Field. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is marked by a dense grid of extraction points, including numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells that reflect the region's mid-century energy boom. Aside from the heavy industrial presence, the Cross L Ranch stands as a primary landmark of the cattle industry that predated and persisted alongside the oil discovery. Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the Tree Windmill, while a prominent Pipeline cuts across the southeast, moving resources out of the Permian Basin. This survey provides a precise record of the physical footprint of the petroleum industry on the Texas plains, showing the interplay between resource extraction and traditional land use.
