1957 Map of Pecos
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The Pecos River carves a diagonal path through this 1950s West Texas landscape, serving as a boundary for counties such as Loving, Ward, and Pecos. This era represents a peak for the region's energy economy, evidenced by the dense concentration of petroleum infrastructure including the Chapel Oil Field, Goldsmith Oil Field, and the University-Waddell Oil and Gas Field. The industrial character is balanced by significant military and transport hubs like the Pyote Air Force Base and the Texas and Pacific RR line connecting towns like Monahans, Pyote, and Barstow.
