1972 Map of Girvin NE

About this map

Industrial energy infrastructure dominates this Permian Basin landscape along the boundary of Crane Co and Upton Co. Large-scale petroleum extraction is evident throughout the Roberdeau Oil Field and Crossett Oil Field, where a dense network of pipelines and facilities like a Pumping Sta and Substa crisscross the terrain. The topography is defined by the dramatic escarpment of King Mountain to the east, which overlooks the low-lying Spudder Flats. In the southwest corner, the ephemeral Soda Lake sits near the tracks of the At & Sf railroad. This 1970s survey captures the region as a critical energy corridor, marked by numerous Gravel Pits, an Oil Well, and prominent Radio Towers positioned on the high ground of the mountain plateau.
