2012 Map of Bronco

About this map

Bronco sits at the intersection of West Texas ranching and the New Mexico state line, defined by a vast network of water infrastructure and energy extraction. This 2012 survey reveals the essential role of wind power in the High Plains, documenting numerous family-named and landmark wells such as High Lonesome Windmill, Dillberry Windmill, and Bull Pasture Windmill. The landscape is a grid of county roads including State Line Rd and Ashburn Pavement, connecting remote outposts to the Fields Oil Field. Significant local topography like Mexican Hill and water sources like Oho Tank punctuate the flat terrain. The map's detail provides a specialized record of the rural economy, where isolated features like Dugout Windmill and Berry Windmill serve as critical points of reference for local land use and genealogy.
