2013 Map of Hanks Ranch

About this map

Hazel Oil Field and the Jack Herbert Oil Field anchor this West Texas landscape in Upton County, illustrating the industrial infrastructure of the Permian Basin. This terrain is defined by a network of ranching and extraction features, where named water-pumping landmarks like Triangle Windmill, Jarboe Windmill, and the Middle Underwood Windmill reflect the essential management of water resources in a semi-arid environment. The eponymous Hanks Ranch serves as a primary point of human activity, connected to the wider region by rural routes such as Co RD-111. The mapping of these features reveals a specialized landscape where petroleum production and traditional ranching coexist, marked by the distinct patterns of access roads and property improvements typical of modern Texas land use.
