1970 Map of Tokio SE

About this map

The Yoakum Co and Terry Co boundary line runs through this 1970 landscape, marked by a pattern of resource extraction and water management on the High Plains. The most prominent natural feature is Sulphur Springs Draw, which meanders across the northern half of the quadrangle. The map reveals an industrializing rural environment, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells, scattered Drill Holes, and various Gravel Pits. Local infrastructure is anchored by a Pumping Sta and a Substa located along the highway corridors, illustrating how the region's energy and mineral wealth were being actively tapped during this period. The survey's focus on hydrology is clear, with many Wells and a Water Tank noted across the terrain to support both oil operations and ranching in this arid Texas territory.
