2019 Map of Benge Corner

About this map

Johnson Draw cuts across the high Permian Basin landscape in this part of West Texas, providing the primary topographic relief in an area otherwise defined by its agricultural and industrial grid. The survey captures a moment when the transition between Midland County and Upton County is marked by a network of ranch and farm roads, including W Fm 1787 and W Co Rd 270. These long, straight thoroughfares underscore the geometric layout of land ownership typical of the region. The map illustrates how local transportation, such as S Co Rd 1240 and Wilson Ln, follows the section lines of the survey grid, while the natural path of the draw ignores these man-made boundaries, carving a seasonal watercourse toward the southeast.
