1963 Map of Hyman

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Hyman South Oil Field dominates the landscape of this West Texas quadrangle along the Howard and Mitchell county line. In the early 1960s, the area's development was defined by energy extraction and cattle ranching, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells, a sprawling Pipeline, and a network of water storage features. Surface water is channeled through ephemeral paths like Morgan Draw and Dobson Draw, which feed into Beals Creek. The reliance on artificial water sources for livestock is clear through the distribution of named stock tanks such as Arrington Tank, Magnolia Tank, and Bull Creek Tank. The small settlement of Hyman sits at the southeastern corner of the survey, representing a quiet node of activity in a terrain otherwise characterized by the transition from Howard Flat to more broken canyon lands.
