2010 Map of Notrees NW

About this map

The Kermit Sand Hills dominate the northern landscape of this Winkler County quadrangle, where the natural terrain of the Permian Basin meets the infrastructure of the Texas oil industry. Two major extraction areas, the Keystone Southeast Oil Field and the Circle Oil Field, are marked by a network of local access roads and pipelines that crisscross the high plains. Human presence in this arid environment is anchored by essential water sources like North Windmill, while transportation is facilitated by F M 874 and State Route 115. The map illustrates a specialized industrial landscape where ranching history and modern energy production overlap, defined by the practical requirements of the West Texas oil patch during the early 21st century.
