1966 Map of Merrick

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Sulphur Springs Draw meanders across this West Texas landscape, defining the topography of an area dominated by cattle ranching and early petroleum exploration in the mid-1960s. The settlement of Flower Grove sits at the northern edge, while the smaller locales of Zihlman and Merrick are positioned further south along the draw. This map captures the region's transition into an active oil-producing territory, marked by numerous sites such as Black Well, Oil Well, and clusters of Dry Wells. Local social and industrial life is anchored by landmarks like the West Nebel Mission and several scattered Gravel Pit operations. A significant Pipeline cuts through the southern reaches of the quadrangle, illustrating the infrastructure required to move the region's resources across the Martin County plains.
