1964 Map of Turnbaugh Corner

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Smith Field and the Lawson Oil Field define this West Texas landscape, illustrating the intensive petroleum development of the mid-20th century. The intricate web of pipelines and access roads connects industrial hubs like the Goldsmith Plant and a local Gasoline Plant, while a large Aqueduct cuts through the northern terrain. Amidst this infrastructure, the rural settlement of Turnbaugh Corner and the Slator Ranch represent the enduring ranching presence in Ector County. An interesting hydrological feature is the ephemeral Cheyenne Lake, which sits in the western section of the quadrangle. The map reflects a period where resource extraction and traditional land use overlapped, evidenced by the numerous pumping stations and gravel pits that dot the landscape near the community of Goldsmith.
