1969 Map of Seminole SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Industrial expansion defines the High Plains landscape of the late 1960s, where the Doss Robertson Oil Field and the Flanagan Harris Field dominate the terrain. This West Texas study captures the intensive development of the Permian Basin's oil resources, marked by a dense network of Oil Wells, pipelines, and supporting infrastructure like the Pumping Sta and electric Substa. The map also delineates the precise political boundary between Gaines County and Andrews County, showing how these mineral-rich lands were divided. While the surface appears largely utilitarian with scattered Gravel Pits, the underlying story is one of mid-century energy production and the systematic grid of section lines and fence lines that organized the open range into a productive industrial zone.
