About this map

The Lucia Nena Oil Field dominates this landscape in central Texas, where a dense network of petroleum infrastructure—including numerous Oil Wells, a Pipeline, and several Pumping Stations—crisscrosses the drainage basins. Water sources like Deadman Spring and Silver Lake provide relief in this terrain, which is defined by the winding paths of Big Silver Creek, Dew Drop Creek, and Yellow Wolf Creek.

Industrial activity is further evidenced by various Gravel Pits and the steel rails of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which cuts through the southern half of the quadrangle. The small settlement at Maddox and landmarks like Eagle Point or the Radio Tower serve as fixed points for local history researchers tracing the development of the county's energy and transit corridors during the mid-20th century.
