1974 Map of Crane NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Industrial development in the Permian Basin defines this 1974 topographic record, which documents a landscape heavily shaped by energy extraction. Extensive oil and gas infrastructure dominates the terrain, particularly within the Dune Oil Field, McElroy Field, and the area designated as Block 31. The map reveals a dense network of extraction and transport features, including numerous Oil Wells, a Gas Plant, and a Pumping Sta. The natural topography of the desert is overlaid with a geometric grid of Pipeline corridors and an Aqueduct, while the intermittent drainage of Landreth Draw provides a rare natural landmark. Numerous Gravel Pit sites indicate local excavation efforts supporting the construction of the extensive road and well-pad network required for regional petroleum production.
