1952 Map of Iatan

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Industrial development and vast ranchlands define this portion of the Permian Basin in the early 1950s. The landscape of Iatan Flats is dominated by the energy infrastructure of the East Field, where an extensive network of pipe lines and a central Tank Farm indicate the area's mid-century petroleum activity. The Texas and Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the center of the sheet, paralleling the course of Iatan Creek and passing near the northern edge of Iatan Lake. Water management for livestock is evident through numerous landmarks such as California Tank, Willow Tank, and Watson Tank. Geologic features like Rattlesnake Gap and the seasonal flows of Morgan Creek contrast with the man-made Caliche Pit operations, while the Iatan Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists researching early Howard County families.
