About this map

Todd Deep Oil Field anchors this mid-century survey of the West Texas landscape, illustrating the industrial footprint of the petroleum industry during the late 1960s. The map reveals a dense network of energy infrastructure, including an active refinery and multiple gas wells, connected by a complex system of pipelines that traverse the arid terrain. Amidst this industrial activity, historical land use is marked by scattered outposts like Fields Ranch and Bean Ranch, which signify the enduring presence of ranching in Crockett County.

Prominent geographical features such as Howard Draw and Pikes Peak Draw define the drainage patterns of the area, leading toward the landmark of Pikes Peak. Local infrastructure is further detailed through the inclusion of Radio Towers at Shannon and various gravel pits, providing genealogists and historians a precise look at the specific points of human habitation and utility that supported the region's resource-based economy.
