1969 Map of Hobbs East

About this map

The East Hobbs Oil Field dominates this West Texas and New Mexico borderlands landscape, where a dense network of pipelines and wells spreads east from the city of Hobbs. The map illustrates the town's expansion toward the State Line, showing a structured urban grid with essential community landmarks like the Taylor Memorial Hospital, Eagle Stadium, and the Armory. Education and religion are deeply rooted in the local geography, evidenced by sites such as Coronado School, Taylor School, and the Jefferson St Church.
