1974 Map of Camp Creek

About this map

Gas and oil field development dominates this mid-1970s landscape along the Moore Co Hutchinson Co border. The map reveals an intensive industrial infrastructure, characterized by a dense network of gas wells, oil wells, and pumping stations linked by numerous pipelines. In contrast to this energy production, the Herring Ranch represents the region's agricultural roots, situated amidst the natural drainage of Camp Creek and Big Creek. Of particular interest to local historians is the Old RR Grade in the southeastern corner, marking a former transportation route that predates the modern energy-driven economy. A significant Aqueduct also traverses the terrain, highlighting the critical management of water resources in the Texas Panhandle during this era of growth.
