About this map

Isolated ranching outposts and essential water infrastructure define this section of Winkler County in the early twenty-first century. The landscape is marked by family-named holdings such as Haley Ranch, Yantis Ranch, and Willow Wells Ranch, connected by a sparse network of unpaved tracks including Haley Ranch Rd and M Cattle Co Rd. Given the arid climate of the West Texas Permian Basin, the distribution of water is the primary driver of development, evidenced by a series of critical landmarks like Lehman Windmill, North Windmill, and Parker Windmill. These features indicate the ongoing reliance on groundwater for livestock in a region where surface water is nearly nonexistent. The map provides a clear picture of modern land use in a territory where industrial-scale ranching and resource extraction are the dominant human activities.
