1971 Map of Jumbo Hill

About this map

Fullerton Oil Field dominates this West Texas landscape, where the extraction of natural resources shaped the development of Andrews County. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain is marked by a high density of Drill Holes, pipelines, and a Pumping Sta, illustrating the industrial intensity of the era. Despite this modernization, older ranching signatures remain, including the McWhorter Ranch and Morgan Ranch, alongside several scattered water sources like Jumbo Tank. A small, isolated Cem and prominent landmarks like Jumbo Hill provide valuable reference points for local history and genealogy. The map also captures an extensive network of windmills, such as the Kelly Windmill and Homestead Windmill, which were vital for sustaining livestock across this arid topography before the infrastructure of the oil field became the primary feature of the land.
