1951 Map of Ira SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Lake J B Thomas dominates the landscape of this West Texas quadrangle, where the Colorado River was dammed to provide a vital water source for the surrounding high plains. The map illustrates a stark intersection of energy production and cattle ranching, with the Reinecke Oil Field and Vincent Oil Field sprawling across the western terrain alongside individual Oil Wells. Local land use is further anchored by sites like the Conrad Ranch and the presence of numerous Windmills across the basin of Willow Creek. This 1951 record, updated in the 1970s, captures the region at a period of intense industrial activity, marking the intricate boundary lines where Scurry, Borden, Howard, and Mitchell counties meet.
