About this map

Isolated windmills dot the arid Crockett County landscape, serving as vital infrastructure for ranching in this Texas interior. Named watering points such as West Windmill and Twelvefoot Windmill reflect the reliance on groundwater in a region where surface water is notably absent. A sparse network of local thoroughfares, including Ranch House Rd and Elkins Rd, connects the distant properties and suggests a land use dominated by large-scale grazing operations. The transition from established routes like Co Rd 311 to smaller tracks like Ferguson Ln illustrates the vast spatial distribution of rural homesteads. This 2010 topographic record captures the utilitarian nature of the Permian Basin fringe, where named landmarks like Williams Windmill and Coates Windmill are the primary navigational and economic anchors in a wide, open terrain.
