1969 Map of Rotan

About this map

Rotan serves as the primary hub of this West Texas landscape, defined by its grid of streets and significant industrial infrastructure. The local economy in the late 1960s is anchored by a large Gypsum Plant and an extensive network of oil wells and pipelines. To the south, the terrain becomes more varied as it approaches the Clear Fork Brazos River, where the Gaging Sta monitors the waterway. Smaller settlements and named locales like North Roby and Sardis dot the surrounding ranch land and river bottom.
