1967 Map of Schneeman Draw SE

About this map

The Vaughn Oil Field dominates this central Crockett County landscape, showing the distribution of industrial infrastructure across the high desert terrain of West Texas. Numerous Oil Wells and a network of pipelines are interspersed with the natural drainage systems of Garrett Draw, Pikes Peak Draw, and Newton Draw. The topography is anchored by the prominent elevation of Pikes Peak in the southwest, while a large reservoir and Spillway Elev 2574 indicate the management of seasonal water flow in this arid region. These features reflect the mid-century intersection of petroleum extraction and ranching land use, where the dry creek beds and rocky outcrops were shared by drilling operations and local livestock. The map also records several scattered Gravel Pits and numerous exploratory Drill Holes, providing a clear record of the geological surveying and resource development defining the area in the late 1960s.
