1965 Map of Goldsmith

The sheer density of energy development is evident through the naming of specific production zones like the East Goldsmith Oil Field, North Cowden Oil Field, and the Lawson Oil Field. These labels, alongside features such as a Radio Tower and Water Tank, reflect the specialized nature of the region's mid-century economy. For those researching the history of the Texas oil industry or family ties to the Ector County oil patches, this survey preserves the precise footprint of active drilling and settlement before later decades of expansion.
