2016 Map of Rankin NE

About this map

Rankin Draw carves a path through the arid landscape of West Texas, serving as a primary drainage feature in this corner of the Permian Basin. This 2016 survey documents the sparse but vital infrastructure of the Edwards Plateau, where the boundary between Upton Co and Reagan Co bisects the high ground. The map illustrates a grid of rural transportation, including Co Rd 230, Co Rd 225, and Co Rd 220, which facilitate movement across the plateau. The terrain is defined by dramatic contour changes as the land drops from the mesas into the draws, reflecting the geologic character of the region. These roads and seasonal watercourses are the primary landmarks for those navigating the open range and energy fields of this expansive territory.
