1970 Map of Patricia NE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The High Plains of Dawson County are defined here by a systematic grid of petroleum development and rural ranching during the early 1970s. The landscape is dominated by the Gin Oil Field, where a dense network of Oil Wells and a central Substa indicate the industrial footprint of the Texas oil boom. Small centers of activity such as Union and Friendship provide geographic anchors for the local community, while the presence of a Landing Strip and Radio Tower highlight the necessary infrastructure for navigating and communicating across these expansive tracts. Transportation is channeled through regional routes like 180 and 829, which pass by a designated Roadside Park. This survey captures the transition of the West Texas landscape from purely agricultural use to a vital energy-producing region, evidenced by the numerous Drill Holes and Gravel Pits scattered across the terrain.
