About this map

Westbrook sits at the heart of this West Texas landscape, a town defined by its role in the mid-century petroleum and transportation corridors. The Texas and Pacific railroad and a dense network of Pipe Lines and a Telephone Line cut across the terrain, reflecting an era of intense industrial infrastructure. An expansive Oil Field dominates the northern section, while more specific facilities like the Pumping Station Oil Tanks and an Abandoned Tank Farm provide clues to the shifting footprint of the local energy economy.

Beyond the industrial activity, the map records the enduring rural community structures that supported local families. Landmarks such as the Westbrook Cem and the Conaway Sch near Wildhorse Creek offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing ancestors in Mitchell County. The topography is anchored by Morgan Peak and the drainage of Morgan Creek, showing how the natural landscape was surveyed and partitioned as it was integrated into the statewide resource network.
