About this map

Upton County ranch lands and desert plains characterize this region of West Texas, documented just as modern infrastructure began to weave through the arid landscape. The area is defined by a geometric network of property lines and access roads, including Co Rd 117 and Co Rd 308, which serve the remote ranching operations of the Permian Basin. This survey reveals a landscape where traditional land use meets modern surveying, shown through the intricate fencing and boundary patterns that crisscross the terrain. Low-lying depressions and ephemeral water features, captured by the U.S. Geological Survey, suggest the seasonal nature of water in this high-plains environment near Co Rd 111 and the northern reach of Cotton Ln.
