1966 Map of Wolcott Ranch

About this map

Breedlove Oil Field dominates the northern landscape of this Martin County quadrangle, where a grid of oil wells and service roads overlays the High Plains terrain. The map captures an era of intensive resource extraction and ranching, evidenced by the numerous named water sources essential for livestock and drilling operations. Scattered across the plains are uniquely named landmarks such as Dynamite Windmill, Budwizer Windmill, and Bull Windmill, which served as critical reference points in the open country.
