About this map

The Hulldale vicinity in west Texas is defined by the heavy footprint of the petroleum industry, where the Neva West And Gas Field and HJ Oil And Gas Field dominate the landscape. In the early 1970s, this area of the Edwards Plateau was crisscrossed by a network of energy infrastructure, including a Pumping Sta, a Substa, and a Refinery. The natural drainage of Bois D'Arc Draw and Indian Draw cuts through the terrain toward the South Concho River, while landmarks like Big Hill provide topographic contrast.

Local history is preserved in the location of natural springs and watering points such as Hackberry Waterhole and Tenmile Waterhole. The map also documents changing transportation patterns, specifically where a railroad line is marked as Dismantled as it approaches the Tom Green Co Schleicher Co boundary. Numerous Gravel Pit sites are scattered throughout, suggesting active mineral extraction alongside the oil and gas operations.
