1971 Map of Notrees NW

About this map

Kermit Sand Hills dominate this portion of Winkler County, where the landscape is defined by extensive tracts of Shifting Sand. The 1971 survey reveals an environment shaped heavily by the extraction industry, marked by a dense network of infrastructure including the Keystone Se Oil Field and the Circle Oil Field. Numerous instances of Oil Well and Drill Hole locations are scattered throughout the dunes, connected by an intricate system of Pipeline and Aqueduct routes. Beyond the industrial footprint, human presence is noted at the Roadside Park and along various Jeep Trail paths that navigate the difficult terrain. Local landmarks such as the North Windmill and a Radio Tower provide essential orientation points in a largely unsettled area where water sources like Wells were critical for sustaining operations.
