1971 Map of Two B Ranch SW

About this map

The Sable Oil Field dominates this corner of Yoakum County, revealing a landscape defined by industrial development in the early 1970s. This survey, conducted using 1970 aerial photography, documents a network of extraction and transit infrastructure, including a prominent Pipeline and numerous individual wells and oil wells scattered across the plains. The distribution of these resources suggests a period of intensive energy production, supported by localized operations like multiple Gravel Pits and a Water Tank. While the terrain remains largely open, the density of labels for Wells and extraction sites indicates how much the subsurface economy shaped the surface geography of this region during the post-war era.
