About this map

Lygay Oil Field and the South Lygay Oil Field anchor the northern reaches of this West Texas landscape, where the energy industry integrates with the rugged drainage systems of Coke County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Colorado River, which receives numerous tributaries including Bitter Creek, Rough Creek, and Willmo Sand Creek. High points like Shaggy Peak and Green Mountain provide significant relief above the surrounding draws and oil production zones, such as the Millican Oil Field.

A network of ranch roads and specialized routes, including Lower Ranch Rd and Colorado River Rd, connects isolated production sites and homesteads. Local history and geography are preserved in names like Natural Well Draw and Dripping Springs, indicating the critical importance of water sources in this semi-arid region. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when the traditional ranching landscape remained deeply intertwined with active petroleum extraction.
