About this map

West Seminole Oil Field dominates this West Texas landscape, revealing the industrial footprint of the Permian Basin in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of extraction infrastructure, where dozens of Oil Wells and a Gasoline Plant sit among the arid plains of Gaines County. The ephemeral drainage of Wardswell Draw meanders across the upper half of the sheet, providing the only major topographic relief in an area otherwise marked by the straight lines of pipelines and fence boundaries.
