Mexia (pronounced Muhaya if you ain’t from Texas). One of the fields that helped build Humble Oil, now known as Exxon. Not too many active wells around there now.

Another picture from that field with grandfather sitting down. This picture has been in Hughes publications over the years and was on a belt buckle they made in about 1980. Grandfather had just set a record drilling with a Hughes Simplex bit. Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos
