1968 Map of Brandon
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Brandon sits at the intersection of industry and the high plains, serving as a hub for the surrounding Brandon Oil Field. This 1960s landscape is defined by the straight line of the Missouri Pacific railroad, which parallels the highway and connects the small settlements of the region. To the west, the ephemeral path of Big Sandy Creek winds through the terrain, while the Chivington Res No 4 reservoir provides a vital water source for this arid environment. The map records a quiet agricultural and industrial transition, where a Pipeline and scattered sites like a Gravel Pit indicate the local extraction economy. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Plainview Cem and the small residential pocket of Chivington on the western edge of the survey.
