About this map

Oil production dominates the landscape of southern Clay County in the mid-1960s, defined by the extensive Mc Kinlay Oil Field and numerous scattered Oil Wells. The terrain is marked by a network of access roads and a prominent Pipeline cutting through the center of the sheet, supported by infrastructure like a Pumping Sta and Water Tank. While industrial activity is widespread, the map also identifies the localized ranching or residential area of Lazy B.

Waterways such as Deer Creek, Willow Creek, and Lodge Creek provide the primary drainage for the undulating North Texas plains. Aside from energy extraction, the map records secondary industries such as a Gravel Pit, showing how the local economy was physically etched into the earth. The fine red dashed lines throughout the quadrangle denote fence lines, offering a rare look at property boundaries and land use during this era of peak petroleum development.
