1969 Map of Hobbs West

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Oil production and rapid urban expansion define the landscape of Hobbs during the late 1960s, where a dense network of Oil Wells and a complex Pipeline system crisscross the terrain. The growth of the city is evident in the residential development stretching west toward the Lea County-Hobbs Airport. This survey captures the infrastructure of a booming petroleum economy, including numerous Gravel Pits, a refinery, and a Pumping Sta. Social life and community services are well-represented by landmarks such as the County Hospital, the Bel Aire Shopping Center, and several local education centers like Houston Jr High Sch and Edison Sch. To the south, the settlement of Nadine sits near the Texas-New Mexico border, while the northern reaches include Green Meadow Lake and Memory Gardens (Cem).
