2016 Map of North Curtis Ranch

About this map

North Curtis Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this ranching landscape north of Midland, where the terrain is defined by the ephemeral passage of Mustang Draw. The map documents a sparsely populated corner of the Permian Basin, characterized by a geometric grid of county and private ranch roads such as Co Rd 3200 and Lazy Ranch Rd. This network of local connectors, including N Fm 1212 and Prc 2600, illustrates the modern logistical infrastructure required to manage the expansive holdings of West Texas. The elevation rises slightly toward the northeast at Range Hill, providing a subtle break in the otherwise consistent topography of the High Plains. The abundance of small depressions and seasonal water catchments across the quadrangle reflects the area's typical drainage patterns during the brief but heavy rain events common to this semi-arid region.
