Tacubaya and the surrounding ranchlands of Brooks County reveal a landscape defined by the extraction of water and oil in the early 1970s. The territory is dominated by the Alta Mesa Oil Field and the Scott and Hopper Oil Field, where a network of pipelines, pumping stations, and drill holes overlays the traditional grazing land. This era shows the transition from isolated ranch life to industrial utility, with clusters of activity at Alta Mesa Camp and the nearby Alto Colorado Ranch, which features its own Landing Strip.
