1971 Map of Frankel City SW
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The high plains of Andrews County, Texas, appear as a landscape of energy extraction and ranching infrastructure in the early 1970s. The region is defined by a sparse but vital network of water sources, including the Old Headquarters Windmill, Double Windmill, and South Windmill, which reflect the area's legacy of large-scale cattle ranching. These traditional landmarks exist alongside a developing petroleum industry, marked by numerous Oil Well sites, a network of pipelines, and a specific Drill Hole near the western boundary. Named points of interest such as Knight Well and Robison Well provide essential locational markers for local history research, showing how early settlement patterns were dictated by the availability of groundwater in the Permian Basin.
