2016 Map of Hanks Ranch

About this map

Hanks Ranch serves as a lone point of habitation in this arid expanse of Upton County during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the subtle topography of High Lonesome Draw, which meanders through a territory primarily organized by a geometric network of property lines and ranch roads. The presence of Co Rd 111 and Co Rd 111-A indicates the essential transit corridors that connect this isolated ranching outpost to the broader West Texas region. This survey captures a moment in the modern ranching era where the vast, open spaces of the Permian Basin are partitioned into large private holdings, with natural drainage features like the draw providing the only organic variation in an otherwise structured grid of land management.
