About this map

Ketchum Oil Field anchors the northern reaches of this Irion County landscape, illustrating the critical role of petroleum extraction in the West Texas economy during the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage channels including Big Hollow Draw and the distinct forks of West Dutch Woman Draw and East Dutch Woman Draw. Life in this arid environment is visibly supported by numerous dispersed water sources, evidenced by named landmarks such as Brooks Windmill, Shearing Pen Windmill, and Dutch Woman Windmill. Along the southern margin, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks run parallel to Spring Creek, marking the primary transportation artery for the region. The presence of a Radio Tower and various pipelines indicates a landscape transitioning between traditional ranching and modern industrial infrastructure.
