About this map

The North Cowden Oil Field, Johnson Oil Field, and Foster Oil Field dominate this West Texas landscape, illustrating the industrial pulse of Ector Co during the mid-1960s. The map reveals an intricate network of pipelines and aqueducts that service these petroleum fields, interspersed with scattered landmarks like Mexican Well and West Windmill.

To the southeast, the expansion of Odessa into Northside is evident through the development of residential grids and civic institutions. Public spaces such as Broughton Park and Sherwood Park appear alongside educational facilities like Goliad Sch and Hood Jr High Sch. The presence of the County Airport, a Racetrack, and a Drive-in Theater reflects the urban growth and recreational infrastructure of a booming Texas oil town.
