2010 Map of Jumbo Hill

About this map

Jumbo Hill rises as the central landmark in this high plains landscape of Andrews County, where the cattle industry and water management define the map's character. Recorded in 2010, the quadrangle illustrates a sparse settlement pattern dominated by established livestock operations such as McWhorter Ranch to the north and Morgan Ranch in the southeast. The geography is punctuated by an extensive network of groundwater infrastructure, essential for sustaining life in this arid region of West Texas. Numerous named wells and pumping stations, including Homesteader Windmill, Kelly Windmill, and Harwell Windmill, reveal the historical reliance on windmills for ranching. The primary corridor through the area is SW 100, connecting these remote outposts. This survey provides a precise look at the rural land use and the specific family-named ranching properties that have long anchored this portion of the Texas Panhandle fringe.
