1963 Map of Vallery

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Vallery Oil Field and the Ashley Oil and Gas Field dominate this 1963 survey of Morgan County, showing a landscape defined by petroleum extraction and irrigated agriculture. The northern boundary is marked by the path of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which parallels the winding Bijou Creek. Small settlements like Vallery and Griffin serve as nodes along the rail line, while a Gas Plant and numerous wells scattered across the terrain indicate the industrial footprint of the era. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Bijou Canal and the natural drainage of San Arroyo Creek. The map also preserves traces of older transit patterns, including a stretch labeled Old Road that runs roughly parallel to the modern rail corridor, offering a glimpse into the evolving infrastructure of the High Plains.
