1972 Map of Dumas NE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

South Palo Duro Creek carves a deep path through Moore County in this 1970s survey, revealing a landscape defined by the Texas energy economy. The winding creek bed provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding plains, which are densely occupied by an extensive Gas and Oil Field. The industrial character of the region is evident in the specialized infrastructure supporting extraction and processing, including a large Gas Plant and several Compressor Stations. Beyond the petroleum industry, the map identifies local resources like Gravel Pits along the creek bluffs and a prominent Powerplant to the northwest. This topographical study offers a clear view of how high-plains geography was adapted for industrial utility, from the placement of a Radio Tower on high ground to the network of pipelines crossing the creek drainage.
