2012 Map of Five Wells Ranch

About this map

Five Wells Ranch serves as the focal point of this arid landscape in Andrews County, where human presence is defined by the vital search for water and oil. A network of named wells, including the Texaco Windmill and Bull Skeen Windmill, indicates a sprawling ranching infrastructure where individual landmarks are often identified by the families or companies that established them. The arid terrain is cut by the ephemeral courses of Seminole Draw and Monument Draw, which provide natural relief in an otherwise industrializing plain.
