1971 Map of Lazy X Ranch

About this map

Lazy X Ranch sits at the heart of an intensive petroleum landscape in West Texas, as documented by this 1971 field check. The terrain is defined by a dense network of pipelines and service roads supporting multiple active production zones, including the Deep Rock Oil Field and the Furhman Mascho Oil Field. Unlike traditional agricultural maps, this survey reveals the industrial character of the Permian Basin, where family-named landmarks like the Lucky Strike Well and Triple Horn Well punctuate the arid plains. Water resources are scarce, represented primarily by cattle tanks such as North Hackberry Tank and Little Hackberry Tank. The detailed mapping of the Block 13 Oil Field and Andrews North Oil Field provides a technical record of mid-century energy development, showing the precise location of individual pump jacks and storage infrastructure across the ranch lands.
