2012 Map of Monahans

About this map

The West Texas town of Monahans serves as the focal point of this 2012 survey, revealing the structured street grid and industrial footprint of Ward County. The landscape is defined by the intersection of major thoroughfares like Ranch Road 1219 and State Spur 57, which support the regional energy and ranching economies. To the west, the Ward Estes North Oil Field and the Wagonwheel Ranch occupy broad sections of the arid terrain, illustrating the dual reliance on mineral extraction and livestock. Local infrastructure is highlighted by the Roy Hurd Memorial Airport and the neighboring community of Thorntonville. Scattered throughout the survey are traditional markers of the Permian Basin's working landscape, including the North Windmill and Blueberry Windmill, which signify the vital importance of water management in this high plains environment.
