1968 Map of Benge Corner SW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The industrial energy landscape of West Texas is the primary feature of this survey, dominated by the sprawling Pegasus Oil Field and Davis Oil Field. These expansive petroleum developments are overlaid upon a high desert terrain marked by a network of pipelines and service roads. Evidence of ranching operations remains visible at Barr Ranch, while the small settlement of Manning sits near the oil field boundaries. Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by infrastructure such as Bug Windmill and various isolated tanks. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits alongside state routes Tex. 1787 and Tex. 329 illustrates the infrastructure required to support the region's extractive economy. A prominent Radio Tower serves as a lone navigational landmark in a territory otherwise defined by the grid of oil exploration and large-scale land holdings.
