1965 Map of Jud

About this map

The confluence of the Brazos River and the Double Mountain Fork Brazos River dominates the southwestern corner of this mid-1960s landscape, marking the boundary between Stonewall and Haskell counties. The terrain is defined by the industrial footprint of the Jud Oil Field, where a dense network of oil wells, pipelines, and water injection wells intersects with rural agriculture. Near the small settlement of Jud, the land transitions from the river's winding breaks to plateaued fields dotted with springs. Local history is anchored by the Rochester Cem and Idella Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the area's early 20th-century family heritage. This survey captures a specific moment when the petroleum industry was deeply integrated into the topography of West Texas cattle and cotton country.
