About this map

Big Spring anchors the southeastern corner of this West Texas survey, where the urban edge meets the expansive ranching and energy landscape of Howard County. The terrain is defined by a systematic grid of county roads and ranch-to-market routes, reflecting the region's agricultural and industrial organization. The Varel Oil Field stands out as a primary indicator of the area's economic base, situated amongst numerous section lines.

Hydrological features provide vital landmarks in this arid environment, specifically the drainage of Beals Creek and the basins of Threemile Lake and Onemile Lake near the city periphery. To the north, the small settlement of Fairview sits at a junction along Ranch Rd 1584, while local history is hinted at through named thoroughfares like Moore School Rd and Oil Mill Rd, pointing to former rural education and processing centers that shaped the local community.
