1970 Map of Loop SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

McKenzie Draw carves a subtle path across the Gaines County landscape, serving as the primary topographic feature in an area defined by mineral extraction and agriculture during the early 1970s. This survey, conducted by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Texas Water Development Board, reveals a region deeply integrated into the energy economy. Numerous sites marked as Gas Well and Oil Well dot the terrain, connected by a prominent underground Pipeline. This industrial footprint is further evidenced by several Gravel Pits and a lone Gravel Pit positioned near the drainage. The map provides a precise look at the land's transition from open range to a managed resource landscape, showing the density of wells and the critical role of ephemeral watercourses in West Texas.
