1962 Map of Pakan

About this map

The Oil and Gas Field dominates this Panhandle landscape in the early 1960s, defined by a dense grid of Oil Wells and Gas Wells that stretch across the rolling terrain. The map records the infrastructure of the mid-century energy boom, including a network of pipelines and multiple pumping stations that connected this remote portion of Wheeler County to larger regional markets. Small settlements like Kellerville and Magic City sit at the edges of the survey, while the namesake community of Pakan serves as a central point, anchored by the Pakan Cem.
