1964 Map of Odessa SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Foster Oil Field and the Cowden Oil Field dominate the landscape of this Ector County region, where the energy industry and urban expansion meet in the West Texas scrub. The southwestern edge of Odessa shows significant growth, with neighborhoods like Henderson Heights and institutions such as Odessa College and Bowie Jr High Sch established near the city's edge. A notable geological landmark, the Odessa Meteor Crater, sits in the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, south of the Missouri Pacific railroad line. Industrial activity is concentrated at the Sid Richardson settlement and the nearby Carbon Black Plant, while rural life continues at the Moss Ranch and Clark Brothers Ranch. The ephemeral Monahans Draw cuts across the center, a natural drainage feature amidst a network of pipelines and radio towers that supported the mid-century petroleum economy.
