1968 Map of Soda Lake SE

About this map

The Quito Oil Field and Poquito Oil Field anchor this West Texas landscape in Ward County, revealing an economy defined by petroleum extraction and water management. Mapping by the Texas Water Development Board and USGS highlights the critical infrastructure required for survival and industry in this arid environment. A dense network of pipelines crisscrosses the terrain, connecting numerous Oil Wells and Gravel Pits. Water sources are meticulously documented, from family-named landmarks like Yarbro Well and Hays Windmill to functional livestock or industrial points such as Middle Well and Division Well. The distribution of resources is further marked by several catchments, including the descriptively named Tank on the Hill, Sand Tank, and First Tank, illustrating the sparse but vital settlement pattern of the Permian Basin during the late 1960s.
