1969 Map of Pyote West

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Pyote Flats and the surrounding Chihuahuan Desert landscape dominate this survey of Ward County during the late 1960s. The map illustrates a region defined by its industrial and social infrastructure, notably the West Texas Childrens Home located just south of the town of Pyote. The heavy influence of the Permian Basin's energy sector is evident in the dense network of pipelines and numerous scattered Oil Wells, including specifically named sites like Oats Well, Hookedy Well, and Texas Well. Transportation is anchored by the Texas and Pacific railroad, which runs parallel to the highway corridor in the southern portion of the sheet. Outside the main settlement, the landscape remains sparsely developed, featuring family-named landmarks like Wilson Ranch and isolated water sources such as Rogers Windmill and The Lake, which together provide a clear picture of the rural ranching and resource extraction economy of the era.
