1971 Map of Denver City

About this map

Denver City sits at the heart of this 1971 survey, serving as a concentrated hub of activity within the surrounding Wasson Oil Field. The landscape is a network of industrial progress, characterized by numerous pumping stations, pipelines, and a Power Plant alongside a Gas Plant. While the town is defined by its grid, featuring streets like Broadway and Main, its social character is marked by the Rodeo Ground, the Drive-in Theater, and an Athletic Field near the High Sch. Beyond the residential blocks, the terrain gives way to the open stretches of McKenzie Draw and several gravel excavations. This map illustrates the intersection of a mid-century Texas oil community with its essential infrastructure, from the Airport on the western edge to the Memorial Cem nearby.
