2012 Map of Penwell

About this map

Penwell serves as the primary hub for this stretch of the West Texas Permian Basin, where the influence of the energy industry is etched into the landscape. The infrastructure reveals an area designed for utility and resource extraction, anchored by the namesake settlement and the smaller Badger to the west. Industrial activity is concentrated along the northern corridor near Avenue G and Frontage Rd, while the southern expanse is defined by a dense, geometric grid of service roads including Texaco Plant Rd and Ranch Road 1601. These tracks provide access to the vast oil and gas fields characteristic of Ector County. Amidst this technological footprint, the C-Bar Ranch and its associated C Bar Ranch Rd represent the persistent ranching heritage that predates and still coexists with the region's petroleum development.
