1970 Map of Seminole SE

About this map

The West Texas plains at the Gaines and Andrews County line reveal an industrial landscape defined by the mid-century petroleum economy. Within the Means North Field and Nolley Oil Field, the terrain is marked by a dense network of extraction infrastructure including numerous Oil Wells, a Drill Hole, and a Pumping Sta. This 1970 snapshot illustrates how resource extraction dictated the local geography, where utility corridors like the Pipeline and Telephone Road cut across the arid landscape. Social and transportation amenities are sparse but functional, represented by a Radio Tower and Roadside Parks along the primary north-south thoroughfare. The presence of several Gravel Pits further emphasizes the map's focus on material production and the maintenance of the region's roadway infrastructure during this era of intensive energy development.
