Big Spring serves as the industrial and institutional anchor of this landscape, dominated by the heavy infrastructure of the Refinery and the extensive Big Spring Oil Field to the northeast. The Texas and Pacific railroad corridor parallels Beals Creek, creating a dense transit and industrial spine that links the city to outlying communities like Midway and Coahoma. This 1971 update reveals a complex mid-century landscape where educational and social landmarks, including Howard County Jr College and the Big Spring State Hospital, sit adjacent to an evolving network of energy production.
