1970 Map of Seminole SE

About this map

Means North Oil Field dominates this West Texas landscape, showing the industrial infrastructure of the Permian Basin at the start of the 1970s. The map illustrates a dense network of energy extraction features across the undulating plains, including numerous Oil Wells, a Pumping Sta, and a significant Pipeline corridor. This era was marked by established production, evidenced by the transition from active drilling to a steady grid of wells and support structures. Along the southern edge, the Gaines Co and Andrews Co line marks a political boundary through the heart of the oil country. Transport and communication are represented by the aptly named Telephone Road and local Roadside Parks, while scattered Gravel Pits and a Radio Tower point to the necessary materials and connectivity required to maintain these remote operations.
