About this map

The Coyanosa Gas Field dominates this 1970s landscape in Pecos County, characterized by a sprawling industrial infrastructure of pipelines and wells. At the heart of the region, the settlement of Coyanosa serves as a central hub, flanked by local landmarks like the Rodeo Ground and a dedicated Park. The presence of a Cotton Gin alongside a large Gas Plant and Pumping Sta underscores an economy driven by both agriculture and the petroleum industry during this era.

Transportation and utility networks are clearly defined, featuring the Moore-Gilmore Airfield and an additional Landing Strip further south. The natural topography is shaped by the winding course of Coyanosa Draw, which cuts through the terrain. Evidence of localized resource extraction is visible in several Gravel Pit locations, providing a detailed look at the land use patterns in this part of West Texas.
