2012 Map of Morton SW

About this map

The vast agricultural and energy-rich landscape of Cochran County is defined by a rigorous grid of section roads and the infrastructure of the Permian Basin's northern reaches. At the southern edge of the survey, the Buckshot Oil Field underscores the region's industrial character, where resource extraction shares the land with large-scale ranching operations like the Masten Ranch. A complex network of county roads, including Co Rd-41, Co Rd-160, and Co Rd-200, facilitates movement across this open terrain, connecting isolated ranching hubs to the regional thoroughfare of Fm-769. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring patterns of rural Texas land use, where the intersection of livestock ranching and oil production dictates the placement of roads and property boundaries.
