About this map

The industrial and agricultural landscape of Crockett County is defined by the extensive World West Oil Field and Shannon Field during the late 1960s. This survey illustrates the intensive extraction activity of the era, marked by a dense network of Drill Holes and several prominent Gravel Pits distributed across the terrain. A small Refinery stands near the settlement of World, signaling the local processing of petroleum resources.

Water management for livestock and industrial use is evident through numerous named landmarks such as Alto Windmill, Double Windmill, and Six Section Windmill. The natural drainage of the region is primarily channeled through Bill West Draw, which meanders across the eastern half of the map. The inclusion of the Crockett Drill Hole and Ranchito Windmill provides specific points of reference for those researching the historical land use and mineral exploration of this West Texas territory.
