1969 Map of Lehman

About this map

The Levelland and Slaughter Oil and Gas Field dominates the southern landscape of this Cochran County quadrangle, a region defined by its industrial infrastructure and West Texas energy production. Centered on the community of Lehman, the survey documents the critical intersection of transport and extraction as the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line runs east-west across the northern section. The terrain is marked by numerous wells and drill holes, with specific industrial landmarks such as the Lehman Gasoline Plant and various Storage Bins supporting the local economy. Water management and drainage are visible through the winding course of Sulphur Draw, which cuts through the oil fields. This 1969 data provides a clear record of the post-war petroleum boom's footprint, including utility features like a Radio Tower and public rest spots like the Roadside Park.
