About this map

The Emma Oil Field and Andrews South Oil Field dominate the industrial footprint of this West Texas landscape, where energy extraction meets traditional ranching operations. In this arid reach of Andrews County, the survival of the Clabber Hill Ranch is inextricably tied to a network of water sources, each marked by distinctive names such as the Rock Tank Windmill, Jackson Parker Windmill, and Old Place Windmills.

A complex grid of local roads including Triple N Rd and Smile Rd provides access to these remote locations, supporting both the oil infrastructure and the cattle operations. The naming of features like the County Windmill and Windmill Number Four reflects the essential role of water management in a region characterized by sparse surface water and a reliance on the Ogallala Aquifer to sustain both commerce and habitation.
