1967 Map of Divide Country

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Upper Fourmile Draw and Lower Fourmile Draw cut through this high plateau region of Pecos County, illustrating a landscape defined by intermittent drainage systems and petroleum exploration. During the late 1960s, this area known as Divide Country was characterized by an extensive network of Oil Wells and numerous Drill Holes, marking the industrial footprint on the West Texas terrain. The map captures the complex topography of the Yates area, where seasonal watercourses like South Sixmile Draw and Little Riffle Canyon have carved deep relief into the divide. This survey serves as a precise record of the mid-century oil infrastructure, showing the locations of tanks and towers alongside the natural draws that once dictated movement through this arid territory.
