About this map

The Ford-Geraldine Oil Field and surrounding energy infrastructure define this landscape in the northern reaches of West Texas. This 2012 survey documents a sparsely populated arid region where industrial development is the primary feature of the terrain. The map tracks the expansion of petroleum extraction through the Screw Bean Oil Field and the Screw Bean Northeast Oil Field, illustrating a network of service roads and pipelines that crisscross the basin.

Ephemeral water sources and localized landmarks provide the only historical anchors in this environment. The Dinwiddie Ranch stands as a rare named settlement point, while the Screw Bean Spring and the High Windmill highlight the essential role of water management in this dry climate. Natural drainage patterns, such as Salt Cr, Screw Bean Draw, and Charlie Ross Draw, are noted alongside the primary transit corridors of Ranch Road 652 and Carlsbad Rd.
