1964 Map of Parks

About this map

Parks Oil Field dominates this mid-1960s landscape, revealing an intricate industrial network of pipelines and support structures in the Permian Basin south of Midland. The map captures a transition in West Texas ranching and resource extraction, where the ancient path of Monahans Draw is crisscrossed by modern oil infrastructure. A remarkably high density of family-named windmills serves as the primary markers of human settlement and land use, highlighting the critical importance of water access in this arid environment. Names like the Chuck Houston Windmill, Hi Estes Windmill, and Boxcar Windmill provide a rare genealogical record of local landholders and ranching operations. The infrastructure of the petroleum industry is further detailed by the presence of a Gasoline Plant and several Pumping Sta locations, illustrating the scale of energy production during this period of Texas history.
