Big Spring anchors the southern portion of this West Texas landscape, showing a period of significant mid-century industrial and institutional growth. The expansion of the Big Spring Oil Field and the presence of a massive Refinery reflect the region's reliance on petroleum, while an extensive network of aqueducts and pipelines cuts across the dry draws of Big Sandy Draw and Coahoma Draw. Institutional life is well-documented through the sprawling grounds of the Big Spring State Hospital and Howard County Jr College.
