1971 Map of Lees

About this map

Glasscock County and the neighboring Howard County line define this West Texas landscape during the early 1970s. The small settlement of Lees serves as a local hub near the western edge of the quadrangle, while the drainage of the North Concho River and Panther Creek carves through the terrain. The map captures a moment of active industrial development, characterized by a sprawling Oil Field in the northeast and numerous scattered Drill Holes. These energy and agricultural pursuits are further evidenced by infrastructure like the North Cauble Windmill and several Water Tanks. For local history, the presence of a Landing Strip and an Athletic Field suggests the community's mid-century infrastructure and social spaces.
