2012 Map of North Cowden

About this map

The North Cowden Oil Field and North Cowden Deep Oil Field define this Permian Basin landscape, where a dense network of local roads and extraction sites overlies traditional ranching lands. Grounded in Ector County, the map reveals a modern industrial-agricultural hybrid, marked by the presence of Flynt Ranch and Conger Ranch. Distinctive named landmarks like the Rich Uncle Windmill, Alley Oople Windmill, and White Windmill serve as essential water points across the arid terrain. The settlement of North Cowden anchors the southern portion of the quadrangle, while the Comanche Trails Camp offers a rare recreational or educational site amidst the heavy machinery of the East Goldsmith Oil Field. The grid of roads, including Clabber Hill Rd and Ranch Road 1936, facilitates the intensive energy production characterizing the region in the early 21st century.
