2010 Map of Glass Ranch

About this map

Glass Ranch and several other remote outposts define this corner of Sterling County, Texas, during the first decade of the 21st century. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage ways and ranch roads, including Foster Ranch Rd and Bade Rd, which navigate the terrain around Bobs Creek and Lacy Creek. Petroleum extraction is a primary feature of the local economy, evident in the presence of the Herrell Oil Field in the west and the Parochial Bade Oil Field further east. These industrial sites are interspersed with established livestock operations like Bobs Creek Ranch and Shack Ranch, illustrating the dual land use of the region. The map provides a clear picture of the ranching and energy infrastructure that sustains this portion of the Permian Basin fringe.
