1974 Map of Sunray 1 SW

About this map

Coldwater Creek carves a deep, dendritic drainage pattern across this section of the Texas Panhandle, contrasting sharply with the level high plains of Sherman County. In the mid-1970s, this landscape was defined by its intensive energy extraction, with a dense grid of Gas Wells and Oil Wells scattered across the northern and southern plateaus. A complex network of Pipelines cuts diagonally across the terrain, illustrating the infrastructure required to transport fuel from these remote fields. While the creek bottom provides a natural break in the topography, the primary human activity is clearly visible in the systematic placement of drill sites and the unimproved roads that link them, showing the industrial character of the region during this era of petroleum development.
