USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Big Spring serves as the focal point of this mid-century West Texas landscape, a region defined by its transition from high plains to the brakes of the Colorado River. The infrastructure of the Cold War era is prominently visible at Webb Air Force Base and its associated Webb Training Annex, reflecting the strategic military presence in the Permian Basin during the 1950s. The regional economy is anchored by the Texas and Pacific railroad, which strings together communities like Coahoma, Stanton, and Snyder.
