1963 Map of Crater Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Crater Ridge and the surrounding Live Oak County brush country are defined here by a mid-century petroleum economy and a landscape of essential water infrastructure. The survey reveals a dense network of energy production, including the South Ramirena Oil Field, Gilden Oil Field, and the McNeil Oil Field, with a prominent Pipeline cutting across the terrain toward the Burnett Oil and Gas Field. This industrial activity is superimposed over a pastoral setting where survival depends on named water sources like Ramirena Creek and a series of livestock tanks and windmills. Landmarks such as The Tubs Windmill, Jacobs Tank, and Huisache Tank denote specific points of local importance in this arid environment. The map also captures a small touch of public transit infrastructure at Roadside Park, set against the backdrop of deep natural drainages like Long Hollow and Gerrard Hollow.
