1969 Map of Lake Trammell

About this map

Lake Trammell Oil Field dominates this 1969 survey of the West Texas landscape, showing a dense network of extraction infrastructure including numerous Oil Wells, Drill Holes, and Pipelines. The central feature, Lake Trammell, is supported by a series of Aqueducts and a Pumping Sta, highlighting the region's managed water resources. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor cuts north-south through the terrain, paralleling Sweetwater Creek. Along the eastern edge, Old Railroad Grade and The Divide mark historical transportation routes and geographical boundaries. This map captures the industrial character of Nolan County during a peak era of petroleum development, from the Sixtynine Ranch in the south to the remote Landing Strip and varied water sources like Rock Springs and Finn Creek.
