About this map

Oil production and water management define this portion of Ector County, where the industrial presence of the Metz Oil Field and the Yarbrough Allen Oil Field stretches across the Permian Basin landscape. The small settlements of Metz and Judkins are situated along the primary transportation corridor, bisected by the Frontage Rd.

Remote infrastructure is marked by a network of named water sources essential for ranching and industry, including the Buffalo Windmill, Deep Windmill, and Prairie Home Windmill. The presence of these named landmarks, alongside McClain Windmill and New Well Windmill, provides a detailed record of land use and property boundaries in this arid region. Major transit is facilitated by Ranch Road 1053, also labeled as FM-1053, which serves as a vital artery for the region's petroleum economy and ranching heritage.
