2012 Map of Kermit

About this map

Kermit serves as the focal point of this West Texas landscape, its grid-like street pattern anchored by thoroughfares like N Main St and E Dallas St. The surrounding terrain of Winkler County is defined by a dense network of ranch roads and cattle-related infrastructure, particularly the high concentration of named windmills. These features, including the South Rusk Windmill, Hugh Windmill, and Wieseman Windmill, suggest a history heavily reliant on groundwater access for livestock. To the south, Ranch Road 1232 cuts through the territory, connecting isolated points like the Horse Windmill and Two Section Windmill. This 2012 survey illustrates the persistence of the ranching economy in the Permian Basin, where the distribution of water sources across family-named landmarks like Auter Windmill and Hogg Windmill dictates the local geography.
