About this map

Odessa expands northward in this 2010 survey, showcasing the transition from a structured urban grid to the open ranch land of Ector County. The residential and commercial density of the city gives way to the expansive northern outskirts where traditional livestock and water infrastructure remain prominent, marked by labels like West Windmill and South Windmill. This period captures the city's peripheral growth as the bypass system of NW Loop 338 and NE Loop 338 circles the metropolitan area, bridging the gap between urban development and rural range roads like Y T Ranch Rd.

Aviation and industrial connectivity are central to the landscape, anchored by the Odessa-Schlemeyer Field which serves as a major hub for the region. The grid of the city is interrupted by the broad paths of N F-M 1936 and Wire Line Rd, highlighting the specialized transport needs of the West Texas oil and ranching economies. Small natural basins and water catchments like Nw Lake dot the northern sections, indicating the natural drainage patterns of the high plains before they were integrated into the modern street network.
