About this map

Diamond M Oil Field dominates the central landscape of this Scurry County region, reflecting the enduring legacy of the West Texas petroleum industry. The small settlement of Knapp sits in the southwestern corner, identified by its Po and proximity to the winding course of Chimney Cr. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal stream beds, including Bluff Cr and Mooar Cr, which carve through the plains toward the S Fork Deep Cr.

A strictly organized grid of county roads, such as Co RD-370 and Co RD-3104, facilitates movement between isolated ranch sites and oil operations. In the northeastern quadrant, the locality of Franklin Center serves as a secondary focal point along Co RD-271. This layout illustrates a modern rural economy where traditional ranching geography has been overlaid by the systematic infrastructure of energy extraction.
