1971 Map of Frankel City

About this map

The Fullerton Oil Field dominates this West Texas landscape, showing a complex industrial network of the early 1970s. The map illustrates an economy built on energy extraction, with a dense web of a Pipeline and an Aqueduct cutting across the terrain to support regional production. The small settlement of Frankel City serves as a localized hub for the surrounding activity, while a large Gas Plant and Gasoline Plant stand as primary landmarks of the era's midstream infrastructure. This environment is further shaped by numerous Gravel Pits, likely utilized for the construction of the extensive road and pad networks required for oil operations. In the northeast, Monument Draw provides the most significant natural topographic relief in a region otherwise defined by industrial utility and the sparse distribution of a Well or Water Tank used to maintain operations in the arid Permian Basin.
