1970 Map of Whiteface SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Levelland and Slaughter Gas Field dominates this 1970 landscape, illustrating the extensive industrial footprint of the petroleum industry on the High Plains of Cochran County. Hundreds of individual wells are dispersed across the terrain, linked by an intricate network of local roads and a prominent Pipeline. This industrial development is overlaid upon the natural drainage patterns of Sulphur Draw in the southwest and Lost Draw in the east, which carve subtle depressions into the otherwise level Llano Estacado. The northern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line, which provided a critical transportation link for the region's energy and agricultural outputs. While the map is devoid of major town sites, the density of Water Tanks and a Pumping Sta reflects the infrastructure required to support operations in this resource-rich part of West Texas.
