1972 Map of McCamey South

About this map

Mc Camey anchors the northern edge of this West Texas survey, serving as a hub for the surrounding oil and ranching landscape. The town's local infrastructure is well-defined, featuring a Hospital, Country Club, Athletic Field, and a Rodeo Ground adjacent to the local Cem. This 1972 snapshot reveals a region where traditional agriculture and modern industrial extraction coexist. South of the town, the landscape transitions into the extensive El Cinco Oil Field and Tippett Oil Field, populated with numerous Oil Wells and a Tippett Gas Plant. The Pecos River meanders across the southern portion of the quadrangle, accompanied by the historic Old Spanish Ditch. Evidence of the area's agricultural roots remains visible through features like the Cotton Gin and the Patton Ranch, even as an extensive network of pipelines and an Aqueduct cut across the arid terrain toward the Southwest Mesa.
