1965 Map of Southeast Midland

About this map

Midland expands southward from the Texas and Pacific railroad corridor in this mid-1960s survey, reflecting a period of significant growth and infrastructural development. While the urban core is dense with civic landmarks like City Hall, the Post Office, and various educational sites such as Bunche Sch and Travis Sch, the landscape transitions into a network of industrial and agricultural utility. To the south, the community of Cotton Flat and its nearby Cotton Flat Ch mark the shift toward open terrain, where Monahans Draw winds through the Permian Basin floor. The presence of Rattlesnake Raceway and numerous Radio Towers highlights the mid-century modernization of the area, while smaller residential pockets like Sandy Acres and Ridgeheights begin to populate the spaces between the oil-related economy's Quarries and Gravel Pits.
