1972 Map of Lipscomb SW

About this map

The Kelln Oil Field dominates the high plains of the Texas Panhandle in this early 1970s landscape, illustrating the intensive energy infrastructure across the northern border of Lipscomb Co and Hemphill Co. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the complex forks of Big Timber Creek and Horse Creek, which cut through the level ranchland. A specialized industrial presence is evident through numerous oil and gas wells, a Pumping Sta, and an extensive system of pipelines that traverse the quadrangle.
