1966 Map of Scharbauer Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Mustang Draw carves a winding path across this West Texas landscape, defining the topography of the boundary between Andrews Co and Martin Co. In the late 1960s, this area was characterized by a ranching and energy infrastructure, where extensive networks of pipelines and numerous oil wells dotted the terrain between the Scharbauer Ranch and the Old L 7 Ranch. The importance of water management in this arid environment is evident through the placement of Stephenson Windmill and Falkner Windmill, alongside numerous wells concentrated near the draw. A small cluster of activity at Scharbauer and the presence of a Roadside Park near a highway substation provide glimpses into the mid-century roadside culture and rural settlement patterns of the Permian Basin region during a period of steady industrial development.
