2013 Map of Narrow Bow Draw

About this map

Industrial energy production and sparse desert water sources define this West Texas landscape in the early 21st century. The map reveals the extensive network of service roads and petroleum infrastructure supporting the South Orla Oil Field, Regan Oil Field, and Allarmarks Oil Field. These fields are connected by a web of county roads including Co RD 433 and Co RD 432, cutting through the arid terrain of Reeves County. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by the presence of Hackberry Tank and essential landmarks like Baumgardner Windmill and the New Windmill. Ephemeral drainage systems such as Narrow Bow Draw and WT Draw carve subtle features into the landscape, illustrating the hydrology of a region where every well and tank serves a vital purpose for both industry and local ranching operations.
