1970 Map of Cheyenne Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Crittendon Gas Field and the complex infrastructure of the Permian Basin dominate this 1970 landscape along the border of Texas and New Mexico. The map illustrates a high-desert terrain defined by energy extraction and cattle ranching, where the network of resource development is traced through numerous Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and an extensive grid of pipelines. The name-rich windmills scattered across the quadrangle, such as Magnolia Windmill and Seeping Springs Windmill, highlight the vital importance of water access in this arid environment. The intermittent course of Cheyenne Draw cuts through the northwest, while the county lines for Loving and Winkler meet in a series of surveyed boundaries. This document preserves the locations of numerous individual drill sites and gravel pits that supported the local industry during a period of intensive regional expansion.
