About this map

Crockett Heights sits atop a rise in the high plains of Crockett County, marking a localized cluster of activity in a landscape primarily defined by ranching and resource extraction. The 1966 aerial photography reveals a network of industrial and transport features, including numerous Gravel Pit sites and an Oil Well tucked near Taylor Box Draw. The presence of the Wilkins Ranch Landing Area alongside the Wilkins Ranch complex suggests the scale of remote land management in this region, where aviation and ranching operations intersect.

Erosion patterns are clearly delineated through named drainages such as Gurley Draw, Turkey Roost Draw, and Son Chapman Draw, which cut through the terrain. A major Pipeline and the dual-labeled route of 290 and 10 bisect the quadrangle, illustrating the importance of this corridor for regional transit and energy infrastructure during the late 1960s. Family-named landmarks like Davidson Ranch and Clayton Ranch anchor the map for those tracing local land ownership and genealogy.
