1954 Map of Fleming

About this map

Industrial and agricultural life in central Bee County is defined by the proliferation of petroleum infrastructure alongside traditional ranching. The northern half of the landscape is dominated by the Fleming Oil Field and Holzmark Oil Field, where a dense network of windmills and storage tanks indicates the mid-century peak of local production. This energy economy extends southward into the Rock Hill Oil Field and Silva Oil Field, connected by multiple pipelines that cut across the terrain.
