About this map

Hanks Ranch and its surrounding ranchland define this section of Upton County during the early 21st century. The landscape is marked by the industrial infrastructure of the Permian Basin, where the Hazel Oil Field and Jack Herbert Oil Field sit amidst a network of rural roads such as Co RD 111 and Co RD 111-A.

Water management is central to life in this arid region, evidenced by the presence of several named water-pumping landmarks including the Triangle Windmill, Jarboe Windmill, and Middle Underwood Windmill. The natural drainage of Lonesome Draw cuts through the northeast, providing a rare topographical variation in an area otherwise dominated by the geometric patterns of oil extraction and range management.
