About this map

Goldsmith and the northwestern outskirts of West Odessa anchor this West Texas landscape, showing the transition from concentrated grid-style settlements to the expansive ranching and industrial lands of Ector County. The town of Goldsmith is clearly defined by its street system, including Goldsmith St and Gulf Ave, while the southeastern corner reveals the residential expansion of West Odessa along W Yukon Rd.

Between these centers, the terrain is marked by a network of ranch roads and scattered ephemeral water bodies. Named features like Prairie Dog Lake, Antelope Lake, and the uniquely titled Mowing Machine Lake dot the landscape, connected by thoroughfares such as FM 866 and Y T Ranch Rd. This 2016 survey documents the modern layout of these oil-rich plains, where long-established ranch boundaries meet the growing suburban footprint of the Permian Basin.
