2012 Map of Jumbo Hill

About this map

Jumbo Hill rises above the arid plains of Andrews County, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by ranching and vital water infrastructure. The distribution of family-named properties like McWhorter Ranch and Morgan Ranch illustrates the large-acreage land use typical of West Texas. This map provides a look at the essential water management of the region, featuring Scratch Springs and Jumbo Tank, alongside a dense network of wind-powered wells. These landmarks, including Harwell Windmill, Homesteader Windmill, and Kelly Windmill, reveal the persistence of traditional livestock watering methods. Local transportation is facilitated by named routes such as McWhorter Rd and Nelson Rd, which connect these isolated homesteads across the open terrain.
