About this map

Amburgey Ranch sits within a landscape defined by the water management needs of the West Texas plains, where the Winkler Co Ector Co boundary line bisects the arid terrain. The map reveals a specialized infrastructure centered on livestock and land management, characterized by a series of named water catchments such as White Horse Tank, Big Tanks, and Cotter Tanks. These features, along with Bumper Tank and Ector Tank, signify the essential nature of surface water storage for ranching operations in this part of Ector County.

Transportation is facilitated by a network of specialized roads, including the aptly named Caliche Rd, which references the calcium carbonate deposits often used for road surfacing in the region. Other routes like Blockline Rd, Co Rd 404, and Winkler Co Rd 307 provide the primary access through these large parcels of private land, illustrating the vast, open-range character of the territory during this era.
