2016 Map of Brinson Ranch

About this map

The high plains of West Texas are defined here by the open ranching country along the Gaines Co Andrews Co line. Central to this landscape is Monument Draw, a seasonal drainage feature that meanders through the arid terrain, illustrating the importance of natural watercourses in an area otherwise dominated by a rigid grid of county roads. The settlement pattern is sparse, centered on the Brinson Ranch, which serves as a significant local landmark. This 2016 survey documents the modern infrastructure of the Permian Basin fringe, where long stretches of road like Nadine Rd and Co Rd 331 connect isolated agricultural and industrial interests. The map provides a clear look at the relationship between the natural topography of the draw and the geometric parceling of Texas ranch land.
