2012 Map of Ketchum Mountain

About this map

The high plateau country of Irion and Texas Counties is defined by its expansive ranching operations and energy production as it appeared in the early 2010s. Large-scale landholdings such as Magruder Ranch and Cox Ranch dominate the landscape, reflecting the region's enduring agricultural heritage. A network of private and ranch-access roads, including Cal Suggs Rd and Ketchum Mt Rd, provides the primary means of navigating this arid terrain. The map highlights the intersection of natural topography and industry, with Ketchum Mtn standing as a prominent landmark near the sprawling Ketchum Oil Field. This area demonstrates the typical West Texas land-use pattern where traditional cattle ranching and modern petroleum extraction coexist across a landscape of dry draws and mesas.
