About this map

Webb Air Force Base occupies the southeastern corner of this West Texas landscape, marking a period of significant military activity in Howard County during the mid-1960s. The terrain is characterized by a sprawling Oil Field network, with numerous wells and access roads crisscrossing the plains between Buzzard Draw and the saline waters of Threemile Lake (Salt). This industrial footprint is punctuated by local centers of community life, such as Fairview and Prairie View Ch. Near the southern edge, the Big Spring State Hospital and the Texas and Pacific railroad indicate the regional importance of this area as a hub for both public services and heavy transportation. The map captures an era of resource extraction and defense infrastructure before later shifts in the petroleum economy and base closures altered the local geography.
