1964 Map of Scotland SE

About this map

Mc Kinlay and the surrounding ranchlands of Clay County define this landscape during the early 1960s. The map reveals an extensive industrial network integrated into the rural terrain, dominated by a pervasive Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells. Significant infrastructure such as a Pumping Sta and a Water Tank support the extraction operations, while a prominent Pipeline cuts across the drainage basins of Deer Creek, Willow Creek, and Lodge Creek. This survey captures the transition of the North Texas plains from traditional ranching, evidenced by the Lazy B, into a more complex energy-producing corridor. The dense placement of wells and gravel pits alongside these winding creek beds illustrates the mid-century intersection of natural topography and petroleum development.
