1971 Map of Luther

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Luther Oil Field dominates the landscape of Howard County in the early 1970s, defined by a network of drilling infrastructure and resource extraction. The small community of Luther serves as a central point in this industrial landscape, where the flat Texas terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive Pipeline network and a large Aqueduct in the southeast corner. Despite the industrial overlay, signs of rural community life remain visible at Gay Hill Sch and Bethel Ch. The drainage patterns of the Llano Estacado are clearly etched into the topography through features like Dorward Draw and the winding course of Wildcat Creek. This survey captures the region as a mature energy-producing territory, balanced between its original ranching character and the modern demands of water management and oil production.
