1970 Map of Cedar Point

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Cedar Lake dominates this 1970s landscape on the Texas High Plains, revealing a specialized industrial and extractive economy. The shoreline is marked by the Cedar Lake Oil Field and the distinctive Cedar Point landform, while the lake itself is utilized for mineral production through a Salt Evaporator and several Wells (Salt). This map provides a detailed view of the resource-driven infrastructure common to Gaines County during this era, including a Chemical Plant and a Cotton Gin situated among a vast network of oil wells and a Drill Hole. The terrain is further defined by the winding path of Mc Kenzie Draw, illustrating the relationship between the area's arid natural drainage and its heavy industrial footprint. It is a revealing look at the rural industrialization that characterized the Permian Basin region in the mid-20th century.
