2022 Map of Douro

About this map

The western edges of the Permian Basin's urban core meet the high desert plains in this survey of the West Odessa vicinity. The landscape is defined by the transition from dense residential grids in the northeast to the open, arid terrain of the southwest, where the ephemeral Monahans Draw carves a path through the limestone-and-caliche landscape. In the southern portion of the sheet, the settlement of Douro sits near the crossing of major transit corridors, while the Rhodes Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking early family names in Ector County. The extensive network of secondary roads, such as FM 866 and W Yukon Rd, reflects the industrial and residential expansion characteristic of this oil-rich region of West Texas, showing how modern development has been layered over the older ranching and transit foundations.
