1973 Map of Frier Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Frier Ranch and Roach Ranch anchor this West Texas landscape during a period of significant energy development in Lea County. The terrain is defined by the expansive footprints of the Hightower East Oil Field, Lazy J Oil Field, and Cerca Oil Field, reflecting the industrial character of the region in the early 1970s. A complex network of pipelines and unimproved roads connects numerous drill holes and wells, illustrating the intensive extraction efforts of the era. Interspersed among these industrial features are several Gravel Pits and a local Substa, highlighting the infrastructure required to support these operations. This survey provides a precise look at the intersection of traditional ranching land and the burgeoning oil economy in the High Plains.
