About this map

Industrial infrastructure and ranching outposts define this 1974 survey of the Permian Basin's arid interior. The landscape is heavily marked by energy extraction, characterized by the sprawling West Sandhills Oil Field and the adjacent Running W Oil Field. A dense network of pipelines, service roads, and numerous drill holes suggests a high level of activity during this mid-1970s era, with operations extending into the Sand Hills Oil Field and Sand Hills South Oil Field to the east.
