2019 Map of Penwell

About this map

Penwell sits along the northern edge of this West Texas survey, where the infrastructure of the Permian Basin's energy landscape is clearly defined by a network of industrial and service roads. The map documents a transition from the structured residential and service streets of the town, such as W Murphy St and Ave G, to the broad, open expanses of the surrounding oil fields. The terrain is marked by the distinct boundary between Ector Co and Crane Co, with long access routes like S Texaco Plant Rd and S Fm 1601 cutting through the arid landscape to reach isolated sites. Researchers can observe the specialized road network that supports the region's industry, including the I-20 Svc Rd and numerous unnamed tracks that weave through the desert flats and low-lying drainages south toward C Bar Rd.
