1967 Map of Deer Canyon

About this map

The Pecos River carves a deep, meandering path along the western edge of this 1967 survey, serving as the natural boundary between Crockett Co and Pecos Co. This landscape is defined by the expansion of West Texas energy production during the late 1960s, evidenced by a dense network of Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and Drill Holes scattered across the high plateau. The topography is dominated by major petroleum developments, including the Millard Oil Field, Noel Oil Field, and Halff Oil Field. These industrial features are interspersed among a rugged drainage system characterized by deep incisions like Sixmile Draw, Fourmile Draw, and Deer Canyon. The presence of a Pumping Sta and various Gravel Pits alongside Highway 349 highlights the infrastructure required to sustain the oil fields in this desert environment.
