1972 Map of Dog Creek

About this map

Funk Oil Field anchors the southern portion of this West Texas landscape, showing the industrial footprint of petroleum extraction in the early 1970s. Located at the intersection of Tom Green, Irion, and Sterling counties, the terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and upland rises. Significant drainage features including Dog Creek, Live Oak Creek, and Dry Rocky Creek carve through the plateau, while a prominent Pipeline cuts across the western hills. The map captures the infrastructure of the era, from scattered Oil Wells and Drill Holes to the local elevation of McCrary. This survey serves as a record of the region before further modern developments altered the ranching and energy-producing landscape of the Concho Valley hinterlands.
