About this map

Knott serves as the primary hub of this West Texas landscape during the mid-1960s, situated at the boundary of Martin Co and Howard Co. The area is characterized by the infrastructure of the energy industry, with numerous Oil Well sites and Drill Holes scattered across the terrain, linked by an extensive Pipeline network and a local Substation.

A sparse network of roads connects the settlement of Brown to the larger community of Knott, which sits at an elevation of 2615 feet. Beyond the industrial footprint of the oil fields, the land use is further defined by a Gravel Pit and a series of fence lines that trace the cadastral history of these high plains. The topography is relatively level, marked only by subtle depressions and the organized grid of resource extraction.
