1963 Map of Stallwitz Lake

About this map

Stallwitz Lake and the surrounding high plains of Moore County are defined by a mid-century industrial landscape of petroleum extraction and transit. The map documents an extensive Oil and Gas Field crisscrossed by pipelines, service roads, and supporting infrastructure like the Gas Plant and Pumping Sta. This development is concentrated north of the breaks of North Blue Creek, where the terrain drops away into complex drainage patterns contrasting with the level plateau above. Transport and logistics are anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor, which runs alongside the small settlement of Middlewell. Beyond the industrial activity, the presence of Dumas Airport and a Roadside Park suggests the area's role as a regional hub for both local aviation and travelers traversing the Texas Panhandle.
