1985 Map of Seminole
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Seminole serves as the central hub of this West Texas landscape, where the intersection of major roads anchors a region defined by its vast oil fields and intermittent drainage systems. The survey highlights the industrial footprint of the era, showing the Harris Field and numerous unnamed wells that drive the local economy. Transport is facilitated by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line, which cuts through the northern portion of Gaines County toward Seagraves. The terrain is characterized by a series of long, dry draws such as Mc Kenzie Draw and Seminole Draw, which lead toward significant natural landmarks like Cedar Lake (Salt). Smaller communities and crossroads like Fairview, Paynes Corner, and Higginbotham appear as vital points of reference for genealogists tracking family lands in these sprawling ranch and oil districts.
