1986 Map of Odessa

In contrast to the industrial development, the western portion of the map features the distinct geography of the Sand Dunes and the protected terrain of Monahans Sand Hills State Park. Drainage patterns are marked by ephemeral features like Monahans Draw and Johnson Draw, which weave between small settlements like Penwell, Notrees, and Thorntonville. This map captures a period of significant urban expansion around the Midland Regional Airport and smaller residential pockets like Sandy Acres.
