The petroleum-rich landscape of Ward County is clearly defined on this survey, where the industry's infrastructure dominates the high desert terrain. Extensive operations at the Wickett South Oil Field and the South Sealy Oil Field are connected by a network of local roads and state spurs. The settlement of Wickett is shown in detail, with its residential grid extending from 1st St up to 14th St and along T and P Ave. Outside the town center, the map reveals a sparsely populated ranching environment where water sources are vital landmarks. Key water-related features include Monument Pond and several named stations for cattle and drilling operations, such as North Windmill, Recorder Windmill, and the Half h Windmill. This map serves as a record of the modern energy economy of the Permian Basin, centered on the intersection of long-standing ranching properties like Tie Ranch and industrial expansion.
