1970 Map of Fort McKavett NW

About this map

The Kamar Oil Field dominates this portion of Schleicher County, revealing an intensive network of extractive industry in the early 1970s. The landscape is characterized by numerous Oil Wells, a Pumping Sta, and scattered Gravel Pits that supported the local infrastructure. Beyond the industrial footprint, the map documents the expansive private holdings of the Texas Hill Country, specifically the Martin Ranch and Webster Ranch. Drainage patterns are defined by the winding course of Rocky Creek in the northeast and Milligan Draw in the southeast, while the topography is broken by the significant depressions of East Poor Hollow and Poor Hollow. This survey captures a specific moment when ranching and energy production coexisted as the primary economic drivers of the region.
