1964 Map of Odessa NW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The expansive North Cowden Oil Field and adjacent Johnson Oil Field dominate the landscape northwest of Odessa, illustrating the mid-century petroleum economy of Ector County. This survey reveals a terrain defined by industrial infrastructure, with numerous wells such as North Johnson Well and Mexican Well connected by a vast network of pipelines and service roads. Toward the city, the 1964 topography transitions into the residential and civic expansion of the early 1960s, notably around Greenfield Acres. Public life is anchored by institutions like Goliad Sch, Hood Jr High Sch, and the local Coliseum, alongside recreation sites like the Drive-in Theater and Sherwood Park. The map also captures the Odessa-Schlemeyer Field and various extractive sites, including several Gravel Pits and Borrow Pits, which fueled the rapid post-war development of the Permian Basin.
