1962 Map of Sanco

About this map

Sanco serves as the primary landmark in this 1962 topographical study of West Texas, situated in a landscape where industrial expansion meets rugged terrain. The survey captures a moment of active resource extraction, dominated by the I A B Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells scattered throughout the valleys. Natural features define the horizon, including prominent elevations such as Horse Mountain, Meadow Mountain, and Durham Peak. Drainage patterns are dictated by the paths of Yellow Wolf Creek and Adair Creek, which cut through the hills. A notable boundary line for Nolan Co Coke Co runs across the northern section, marking the political division of the ranch and oil country. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a major Pipeline further illustrates the mid-century infrastructure supporting the local economy.
