About this map

Buckshot Oil Field dominates the southwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on petroleum extraction. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral path of Sulphur Draw, which meanders across the high plains of Cochran County. This 2010 survey illustrates a sparsely populated agricultural and industrial expanse where land is organized into large-scale ranching and mineral interests, punctuated by localized features like Masten Ranch.

The road network, including Co Rd 41, Co Rd 200, and Co Rd 190, follows a rigid grid system typical of the Llano Estacado. These routes provide the primary access to the scattered oil wells and ranch headquarters that anchor the local economy. The map serves as a clear record of modern land use in a portion of the state where the vastness of the plains is interrupted only by the infrastructure of the energy industry.
