2019 Map of Goldsmith

About this map

Goldsmith occupies the upper left corner of this West Texas landscape, showing a grid of residential and industrial streets such as Gulf Ave and Midland St. This 2019 survey documents the expansive ranching and oil-lease country of Ector County, where the terrain is marked by a network of private and county roads including Y T Ranch RD and Altura Lease RD. The arid surroundings are dotted with numerous small lakes and depressions, a common geographic feature of the Permian Basin region. Many of these water bodies bear descriptive names such as Prairie Dog Lake, Mowing Machine Lake, and Antelope Lake, hinting at the wildlife and ranching equipment that define local landmarks. The dense grid of unnamed surface features and lease roads reflecting the region's energy production heritage contrasts with the open expanses surrounding Northwest Lake and James Lake.
