1968 Map of Deep Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Oil Field of Gray County dominates this 1968 landscape, where industrial development meets the depressions of the Texas Panhandle. The terrain is defined by its hydrology and mineral extraction, centered on Deep Lake and the nearby Wakefield Lake. These water bodies sit within a broader network of numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells that punctuate the plains, connected by a network of unimproved roads and a major Pipeline in the northwest. To the east, the topography shifts dramatically as the flat upland breaks into the drainage basin of North McClellan Creek. This transition from high plains to dissected creek valleys illustrates the dual character of the region during the late 1960s, balancing intensive energy production with the natural seasonal drainage patterns of the Llano Estacado. Small-scale resource extraction is also evident at a Gravel Pit located near the edge of the creek breaks.
