1965 Map of Pettit

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Cochran Co and Hockley Co border runs directly through this mid-1960s survey of the High Plains, where the industrial landscape of the Levelland and Slaughter Oil and Gas Field dominates the southern reaches. The small settlement of Pettit serves as a local hub, while the presence of Whiteface Farms and numerous gravel extractions, including several Gravel Pits and an isolated Gravel Pit, speak to the region's agricultural and resource-based economy. The terrain is defined by subtle topographic shifts, most notably along the Yellow House Draw, which cuts through the northern section of the quadrangle. A network of unimproved dirt roads and an extensive Pipeline system connect the scattered wells and farmsteads, illustrating the infrastructure required to manage both the surface land and the subterranean petroleum resources during this era of West Texas development.
