1972 Map of Pollard Creek NW

About this map

The South Palo Duro Creek carves a deep meandering path across the High Plains of Moore County in this early 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the massive infrastructure of the Oil And Gas Field, where a dense network of pipelines and hundreds of Gas Wells and Oil Wells populate the tablelands. This energy production sits alongside agricultural markers like the Morton Elevator, illustrating the dual economic drivers of the Texas Panhandle. For family historians, the Palo Duro Cem remains a significant landmark near the center of the sheet, while industrial features such as a Pumping Sta and a Gravel Pit highlight the literal extraction of resources from the plains during this era of peak domestic production.
