1967 Map of Parrilla Creek SE

About this map

The Duval County landscape in the late 1960s was defined by an extensive Oil Field network, where industrial infrastructure integrated with traditional ranching lands. At the heart of this activity is Driscoll Camp, which features a central Refinery surrounded by a dense concentration of Oil Well and Gas Well sites. This intersection of energy and agriculture is further evidenced by the various family-named and functional landmarks like the Guadalupe Windmill and Medron Windmill, which provided essential water in a semi-arid environment drained by the intermittent Agua Poquita Creek and Concepcion Creek. The map also captures several Gravel Pits and cattle-related features such as Novillo Tank and the Spring Guajillo Tank, showing how the land was simultaneously managed for resource extraction and livestock.
