1965 Map of Moran
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Moran serves as the focal point of this mid-century West Texas survey, where the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad cuts a diagonal path through the landscape. The region's industrial character is defined by a sprawling Oil Field and numerous oil wells that pepper the terrain alongside a network of pipelines. While the town of Moran is the primary population center, the map also captures the smaller settlement of Sedwick to the northwest. Local family and community history is anchored by several burial sites, including Moran Cem, Johnson Cem, Greer Cem, and Dennis Cem. The topography is marked by distinct rises such as the Greer Mountains and Round Top Mountain, while water sources like Moran Lake and Deep Creek provide relief to the dry, productive uplands. This map illustrates the intersection of traditional cattle-country geography with the intensive energy infrastructure of the 1960s.
