2012 Map of Salt Lake

About this map

Franklin Ranch and Hutt Ranch anchor this West Texas landscape, representing the enduring pastoral presence in Midland County. This 2012 survey illustrates the critical infrastructure of the arid Permian Basin, where life and industry are organized around water sources and resource extraction. The map is defined by a dense network of naming landmarks, specifically windmills that serve as vital navigational and functional points across the terrain. From the Winkleman Windmill in the north to the Oil Well Windmill in the south, these features highlight the dual economy of ranching and petroleum.
