About this map

The Slaughter and Levelland Oil Field dominates the landscape of the High Plains in this mid-century survey, with an extensive network of wells and a Pipeline stretching across the western terrain. The city of Levelland occupies the eastern edge of the sheet, revealing a growing urban grid focused around the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. Industrial activity is concentrated near the tracks, evidenced by a Refinery and proximity to the Municipal Airfield.

Local civic life is well-documented through landmarks such as the County Fairground, Municipal Park, and the Armory. Genealogical interests are served by the location of the local Cem, Sch, and Fairview Ch, providing a clear view of the social infrastructure supporting the oil and agricultural economy. Water features are sparse in this semi-arid region, with Lobo Lake serving as a primary named landmark near the town center.
