2012 Map of Big Lake SW

About this map

Industrial energy production and sparse rural transit networks define this corner of Crockett County in the early 2010s. The landscape is heavily marked by the petroleum industry, with extensive operations at the Weger Oil Field and the Farmer Oil Field necessitating a dense web of service roads. These private and county routes, including Friend Rd and Co Rd 135, create a geometric grid across the arid terrain. Unlike more settled regions, this area lacks named towns or community centers, focusing instead on the resource extraction that drives the local economy. The network of secondary roads such as Co Rd 205 and O7 Rd provides a detailed look at the infrastructure required to maintain these sprawling oil fields in West Texas.
