About this map

North Curtis Ranch and Glass Ranch anchor this West Texas landscape, which is defined by an extensive network of water infrastructure across the arid Permian Basin. This early 21st-century survey reveals a territory organized by cattle ranching and resource management, where named water sources are the primary landmarks. From Billy Pees Windmill in the southeast to Lake Windmill in the west, these features underscore the critical importance of groundwater in Midland County.

The layout of the land is further articulated by a grid of rural routes including Lazy Ranch Rd and Farm Rd 1212-N. Topographical variation is minimal, with Range Hill providing a rare point of elevation in the northeast. The presence of uniquely named features such as Powder Puff Windmill, Broke Leg Windmill, and Kelton Windmill offers a distinct look at local ranching nomenclature and the historical positioning of livestock watering stations across the flats.
