1971 Map of Big Lake SW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Weger Oil Field and Farmer Oil Field dominate the landscape of the Permian Basin during the early 1970s. This survey, conducted by the Geological Survey and Texas Water Development Board, reveals an intensive network of energy infrastructure spread across the Reagan and Crockett county line. Numerous sites including the Noake Well, various Gas Wells, and scattered Oil Wells indicate a period of active resource extraction. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Schneemann Draw and its tributaries, which carve through the plateau. Local landmarks such as Carroll and Schneeman provide geographical reference points in an area otherwise characterized by industrial utilities like the Substa and several Gravel Pits. The map serves as a record of the mid-century petroleum economy and the technical layout of the region's oil fields before modern consolidation.
