1964 Map of Penwell SW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Industrial development in Crane County is prominently defined by the Armer Oil Field, where a dense network of drilling infrastructure and access roads cuts through the natural terrain of the Sand Hills. This mid-1960s survey reveals an economy centered on resource extraction, characterized by an extensive system of a Pipeline and an Aqueduct that crisscross the landscape. The terrain itself, featuring the Running W and shifting sands, is dotted with specialized facilities like the Warren Gas Plant and various Pumping Sta locations. Local operations are further marked by a Sand Windmill and scattered Gravel Pit sites, reflecting the practical necessities of maintainence and expansion in this arid West Texas environment. The map provides a clear picture of the physical footprint of the mid-century petroleum industry before later consolidation changed the oil field landscape.
