1961 Map of Soda Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The Pecos River serves as the western boundary for this arid landscape in the early 1960s, where the expansion of irrigation and the petroleum industry reshaped the West Texas terrain. This survey illustrates a complex network of water management, with the Barstow Canal and Cedarvale Canal cutting through the brush to support local agriculture. The interior of the quadrangle is dominated by energy extraction, specifically the Monroe Oil Field and the West Quito Oil Field, which are marked by numerous oil wells and drill holes.
