About this map

The northeastern expansion of Odessa into the surrounding Permian Basin oil fields is captured in this mid-1960s survey. As the city pushes toward the Ector Co Midland Co boundary, new suburban developments like Golden Acres Country Club and schools including Permian High Sch and Ireland Sch appear alongside established industry. The landscape is dominated by the energy economy, with the Headlee Field, Hallanan Field, and Parks-Pennsylvanian Oil Field defining the terrain beyond the city limits.

Evidence of local community life is found in scattered institutions such as Antioch Ch, St Lukes Ch, and Sunset Memorial Gardens. A complex network of pipelines and aqueducts crisscrosses the plains, serving the Refinery and numerous well sites. The Texas and Pacific Railroad and Loop 338 provide the primary transit corridors connecting the residential grid to the outlying Ratliff Ranch and mineral extraction zones.
