1967 Map of Midkiff

About this map

Industrial infrastructure dominates this West Texas landscape where the boundaries of Midland, Glasscock, Upton, and Reagan counties converge. The 1960s economy is defined by a dense network of Oil Wells, a central Oil Field, and extensive Pipelines cutting across the terrain. At the southern edge of the survey, the settlement of Midkiff and the nearby Midkiff Camp serve as local hubs for the energy sector. Evidence of specialized utility work is visible in the presence of the Midkiff Gas Plant, another smaller Gas Plant, and a massive Aqueduct system. Transport and communication are represented by a local Landing Strip and a Radio Tower, while numerous Gravel Pits suggest ongoing construction and road maintenance during this period of mid-century expansion.
