1967 Map of Owens Creek SW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Live Oak Creek carves through this West Texas landscape, defining a terrain dominated by the mid-century energy economy and livestock ranching. The 1960s footprint of the petroleum industry is evident in the sprawling Shannon Oil Field, Simpson Canyon Oil Field, and Clara Couch Oil Field, which are marked by numerous oil wells and a Pumping Sta. These industrial zones are interspersed with established family holdings such as the Hoover Ranch and Owens Ranch. The map also reveals a complex network of water and energy infrastructure, including an Aqueduct and multiple pipelines crossing the draws. Topographic features like Knute Draw, Double Tank Canyon, and J M Canyon underscore the arid, dissected character of this Crockett County region during a peak period of resource extraction.
