About this map

Loving County’s arid landscape, captured here in 2014-2015, is defined by an intricate network of local connectors and ranch roads that crisscross the terrain in a grid-like pattern. These roads provide the primary access to the sparse water resources and ranching operations of the West Texas Permian Basin. A prominent water feature is the White Elephant Tank, located in the northeastern portion of the sheet. The terrain’s character is shaped by subtle elevation changes and drainage patterns that reflect the region’s specialized ranching and oil-field infrastructure, where every named landmark like this tank serves as a vital navigational point in an otherwise uniform landscape.
