2010 Map of Benge Corner

About this map

Benge Corner sits at a crossroads in the Permian Basin, marking a landscape defined by geometric ranching boundaries and the ephemeral passage of Johnson Draw. This 2010 survey illustrates the transition from traditional open range to the modern grid of West Texas, where local travel is dictated by routes like W Fm 1787 and W Co Rd 270. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes and seasonal watercourses that cut through the high plains. The intersection of S Co Rd 1240 and other county roads reveals a sparsely populated area where the primary landmarks are often the names of the draws and the junctions themselves. Researchers will find a clear record of land use and road development in this part of Midland County during the early 21st century.
