About this map

Smith Place and the Kennedy Ranch define the dispersed settlement pattern of this Pecos County landscape during the early twenty-first century. The area is characterized by an extensive network of water infrastructure essential for ranching, marked by numerous named wells including Llano Windmill, Brahma Windmill, and Fortyfoot Windmill. Transportation is largely confined to unimproved paths and the primary artery of Kennedy Rd, which provides access through the expansive rangeland. This survey captures a moment in the modern management of West Texas territory, where the placement of landmarks like Tanquary Windmill and Bond Windmill continues to dictate the local geography and logistics of land use in a region where water sources serve as the primary navigational anchors.
