2013 Map of Parks
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
The Parks Oil Field defines this Midland County landscape, illustrating the industrial footprint of petroleum extraction in the Permian Basin. This survey records an extensive network of named water sources essential for livestock and local operations across the arid terrain, ranging from the Windmill in the Flat to the Windmill on the Hill. Family-named sites such as Chuck Houston Windmill and the Montgomery Windmill suggest a pattern of ranching tenures and land use tied to specific historical residents. Aviation and transportation infrastructure are represented by Bates Field Airport and the intersection of FM-1788 with a grid of county roads including Dora Roberts Rd. The presence of the South Estes Windmill and Hi Estes Windmill indicates the significant Estes family presence in this corner of West Texas.
