1966 Map of Westover SW

About this map

Travis and the surrounding rangeland of Throckmorton County define this mid-1960s landscape, later updated in the early 1980s. The map reveals an economy driven by petroleum extraction, with a significant Oil Field and various Oil Wells peppered throughout the territory. The intricate network of drainage is a primary feature, where Wagon Creek and Hog Creek carve through the terrain. A major Pipeline cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, highlighting the industrial infrastructure that shares the land with more traditional cattle country. Waterways like North Boggy Creek and Flat Creek provide the necessary relief for this part of West Texas, while labels for a Drill Hole point to the ongoing exploration that shaped the local history during the mid-century energy boom.
