About this map

Amburgey Ranch sits at the heart of this Permian Basin landscape, representing the enduring presence of cattle ranching in the arid terrain of West Texas. The survey captures a network of essential water features critical for livestock management, including White Horse Tank, Big Tanks, and the Homestead Tank. These earthen tanks, along with Ector Tank and Bumper Tank, dot the landscape between sparse roadways such as S Wheeler Rd and Blockline Rd.

Defining the western edge of the quadrangle is the Winkler Co Ector Co boundary line, which separates the open ranchland of Ector County from its neighbor. The presence of Caliche Rd suggests the local materials used for regional infrastructure, while the distribution of Cotter Tanks illustrates how water resources are strategically scattered across the vast acreage. This 2016 record provides a clear view of the rural ranching layout before more intensive industrial changes.
