1968 Map of Midkiff SW

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Oil wells and extraction sites dominate this Upton County landscape during the late 1960s, revealing the extensive industrial footprint of the Permian Basin's energy sector. The map document's topography, derived from 1966 aerial photography and 1968 ground surveys, captures a network of resource development characterized by numerous Gravel Pits and drill sites. A solitary Roadside Park along the primary roadway provides one of the few formal public landmarks in an area otherwise defined by utilitarian land use and extensive fencing, indicated by fine red dashed lines. The presence of these features, alongside many unnamed tanks and service roads, illustrates the transition of this West Texas terrain into a highly managed industrial field where geological potential dictated the placement of every road and structure.
