About this map

The Brady Mountains dominate the southern portion of this landscape, rising above a network of drainages that define the local geography in Concho County. During the late 1960s, the terrain was characterized by a mix of ranching and energy extraction, centered around the North Speck Oil Field and numerous scattered Oil Wells and Gas Wells. The hydraulic pattern is established by the converging paths of East Kickapoo Creek, Middle Kickapoo Creek, and Hog Creek, which carve through the undulating topography. Human settlement is sparse, represented by the Ellis Ranch, while the industrial footprint is marked by a network of pipelines and several Gravel Pits. This era shows a landscape where traditional Texas ranching coexisted with the expanding infrastructure of the petroleum industry.
