1974 Map of Sacatosa Tank

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Sacatosa Field and the surrounding Maverick County rangeland define this mid-1970s landscape, illustrating the intensive infrastructure of the Texas oil and gas industry. The area is marked by a high density of Oil Wells, a central Gasoline Plant, and an extensive Pipeline network that crisscrosses the scrubland. Water management is the other primary human imprint on this arid terrain; dozens of man-made catchments like Sacatosa Tank, San Pablo Tank, and Comanche Tank are distributed along the drainages of Chueco Creek and Chimeneas Creek. This distribution of "tanks" suggests a land use dedicated to cattle ranching alongside energy extraction. The map also reveals localized logistical points such as a remote Landing Strip and an electrical Substa, providing a clear look at the industrial operations required to maintain production in this part of South Texas.
