1959 Map of Dam Draw

About this map

The McCabe Oil Field and various Gas Wells define the industrial landscape of this West Texas terrain during the late 1950s. Located along the boundary of Mitchell and Nolan counties, the area is characterized by a network of energy infrastructure including a prominent Pipeline that cuts across the ranchland. Water management is critical in this arid environment, evidenced by named reservoirs such as Buck Creek Tank and Six Tank, alongside the seasonal drainages of Silver Creek and Walnut Creek.
