1969 Map of Maverick Creek

About this map

The Cogdell Oil Field dominates the northern reaches of this West Texas landscape, where the Scurry and Kent County lines meet at an Indefinite Boundary. This survey captures the intensive industrial footprint of the era, marked by a dense network of an aqueduct, multiple pipelines, and scattered Oil Wells. The terrain transitions from the industrial activity of the north to a series of carved drainages in the south, including Maverick Creek, Cox Hollow, and the winding Rough Creek. Notable topographic landmarks such as Church Peak and Overlook Hill provide orientation points amidst the complex system of draws and ridges. Local infrastructure of the time is further evidenced by a Pumping Sta and a remote Landing Strip, illustrating how energy extraction and aviation infrastructure integrated into the rural cattle country of the late sixties.
