1969 Map of Cooper Mountain

About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River snakes through this West Texas landscape, carving deep relief into the terrain as it winds past the Cogdell Oil Field. This late-1960s survey documents a region defined by its energy and ranching economy, where industrial development is interspersed with wide-open range. Significant petroleum infrastructure is evident throughout the area, marked by numerous Oil Wells and a prominent Pipeline crossing the southern reaches. Local landmarks such as Cooper Mountain and the deep cuts of Eagle Canyon provide natural orientation points for a landscape otherwise dominated by the grid of the oil field and the winding watercourses of Sand Creek and Cooper Creek. The presence of the Parr Ranch and small-scale operations like a Gravel Pit highlight the sparse but persistent settlement patterns of Kent County during this era.
