1966 Map of Knott NE

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Buzzard Draw cuts through this West Texas landscape, defining a terrain of seasonal drainage and prairie during the mid-1960s. The map illustrates the region's transition into an energy and extraction economy, dominated by the Oil Field in the northeast and numerous Oil Wells scattered across the plains. Small rural focal points like Abrams and Petty are visible alongside infrastructure such as a prominent Pipeline and several Gravel Pits. For those interested in the travel history of the era, the presence of a Roadside Park along the highway and a Corral in the southern hills provides evidence of how the land was managed for both transit and livestock. This survey captures a specific moment when ranching traditions and industrial oil production coexisted across the Howard County topography.
