2022 Map of Ink Basin

About this map

Ink Basin anchors this high plains landscape in Yoakum County, where the topography is defined by subtle depressions and the ephemeral course of McKenzie Draw. The 2022 survey illustrates a modern rural grid system, punctuated by a network of county roads such as Co Rd 280 and Co Rd 340 that navigate the open terrain. This area of West Texas shows a sparse, specialized infrastructure typical of the Llano Estacado, where land use is reflected in long, straight transit corridors like FM 1622 and localized routes such as Edwards Rd. The map reveals how water drainage patterns and local transit routes interact in this semi-arid environment, providing a precise record of the contemporary rural footprint.
