About this map

F A N D H O I L Field dominates the northwest corner of this West Texas landscape, where the boundary between Schleicher Co and Menard Co cuts through a terrain defined by ranching and resource extraction. The map illustrates a network of scattered Oil Wells and Gravel Pits interspersed with isolated agricultural outposts like White Ranch and Russell Ranch.

Water management in this arid region is central to the land's utility, marked by the presence of the Eaker Windmill and the Ninemile Waterhole Well. Drainage patterns are captured through named features such as Milligan Draw, Rattlesnake Draw, and Brown Hollow, which channel towards Rocky Creek. Near the southern border, Highway 190 provides the primary transit corridor, connecting these remote ranching and oil operations to the wider region.
