About this map

Oil production dominates the landscape of Reagan County in the early 1970s, as shown by the extensive Oil Field and an intricate network of service roads and wells. The terrain is characterized by a significant natural Depression that marks the central portion of the sheet. Industrial activity is further evidenced by a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northeastern corner and several Gravel Pits concentrated along the roadways. These features suggest an economy heavily reliant on resource extraction during this era of West Texas development. Small geographic markers such as Crossroads and Ricker serve as primary navigational points in a region otherwise defined by its industrial infrastructure rather than dense residential settlement.
