1943 Map of Oil City

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Oil City and a network of family-owned ranching operations define this portion of Eddy County during the late 1930s. The landscape is characterized by its resource-driven economy, notably evidenced by the expansive U. S. Potash Reserve and the heavy-duty infrastructure of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cutting through the southeast. A series of ephemeral drainages, including Palmilla Draw and Chalk Bluff Draw, cross the terrain toward the Pecos River valley to the west.
