1963 Map of Garden City NE

About this map

The Clyde Reynolds Oil Field anchors the southern landscape of this West Texas terrain, marking the industrial footprint on the Permian Basin during the early 1960s. The map illustrates a transitional environment where the upper reaches of the North Concho River and Dobson Creek cut through the high plains, providing critical drainage in an otherwise arid expanse. Small-scale ranching and infrastructure are evident at Lester and the Foster Ranch, while the presence of the Big Spring City Wells and the Garden City Pumping Sta underscores the region's reliance on groundwater management. Surveyed just before the mid-sixties, the sheet also captures several industrial sites, including a series of Quarries and an extensive network of pipelines that traverse the rugged divide between Glasscock and Sterling counties.
