2010 Map of Brunson Ranch

About this map

Brunson Ranch serves as the primary landmark in this corner of West Texas, representing the sparse pastoral infrastructure of the Chihuahuan Desert landscape. The map shows a geography defined by the search for water, evidenced by a network of isolated pump sites such as Indian Springs Windmill and Lehman Windmill. These features, along with South Windmill and North Pipeline Windmill, illustrate the vital role of groundwater management in sustaining ranching operations in this arid environment during the early 21st century. The survey documents a series of unimproved roads and fence lines that connect these remote outposts, tracing the functional layout of a modern working ranch in Loving County.
