About this map

The Toro Gas Field dominates this West Texas landscape, illustrating the intensive energy development of the late twentieth century near the transition to the Automotive Proving Ground in the northeast. This 1970 survey reveals a complex network of industrial infrastructure, characterized by numerous Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and a dedicated Gas Plant connected by an extensive Pipeline system. The presence of a localized Substa further emphasizes the heavy electrical requirements of these extraction operations.

Agricultural and small-scale settlements persist amidst the industry at sites like Flat Top Farm, Hereford, and Lanx. A designated Landing Strip suggests the logistical demands of managing remote field operations, while several Gravel Pits indicate the ongoing road and site construction necessary to maintain this desert production hub. The map provides a clear record of how resource extraction reshaped the rural landscape of Reeves County during a period of significant growth.
