South Cowden Oil Field and the Double H Oil Field dominate the upper portion of this Ector County landscape, reflecting the intensive petroleum extraction character of the Permian Basin in the early 21st century. The map reveals a rigid grid of residential streets south of these fields, many named for fruits and gemstones, such as W Orange St, W Lime St, and S Agate Ave. This planned settlement contrasts with the surrounding agricultural and ranching operations. Scattered throughout the territory are numerous family and place-named water sources essential for livestock, including Henderson Windmill, Simms Tank, and the Prairie Dog Windmill. The namesake Clark Brothers Ranch sits centrally, serving as a landmark between the industrial oil zones to the north and the expanding residential outskirts of Pleasant Farms.
