About this map

Pecan Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including Clear Creek and Condemn Branch, define the drainage patterns of this Callahan County landscape as it was documented in the late 1960s. The terrain is a network of small watersheds, where cattle ranching and resource extraction coexist with the emerging highway system of West Texas. Industrial activity is concentrated in the southern and central portions of the sheet, marked by several Gravel Pits and a cluster of Oil Wells. Small-scale aviation and traveler infrastructure appear in the form of a remote Landing Strip and a Roadside Park along the highway, illustrating the mid-century reliance on both private flight and automobile travel in this expansive region. The presence of a Drill Hole and a marked Pipeline further indicates the area's importance to the regional energy economy.
