About this map

Lake Trammell serves as a central landmark in this West Texas landscape, formed by the Lake Trammell Dam to manage local water resources. The surrounding terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal watercourses, including Sweetwater Creek, Spring Creek, and Cottonwood Creek, which carve through the Nolan County plains. This 2010 survey highlights the region's long-standing connection to the petroleum industry, evidenced by the Lake Trammell Oil Field located just south of the reservoir.

Rural infrastructure is primarily composed of county roads such as Co RD 147 and FM 608, which link isolated landholdings and agricultural sites like the Sixtynine Ranch. The presence of Rock Springs suggests historical importance as a natural water source in an otherwise arid environment. This map captures a moment in the early 21st century when energy production and ranching continue to shape the character of the Texas countryside.
