2012 Map of Notrees

About this map

Notrees stands as the primary namesake settlement in this arid corner of the Permian Basin, shown during a period of modern surveying by the U.S. Geological Survey. The landscape is defined by a utilitarian network of service roads and section lines, including Co Rd 307, which cut across the desert terrain. This 2012 data captures the sparsely populated character of the region, where the vast open spaces are punctuated only by the occasional road crossing or isolated structural point. For those tracing the evolution of West Texas land use, the map provides a clear look at the spatial distribution of these few named landmarks against a backdrop of complex hydrographic drainage patterns and subtle elevation changes.
