About this map

Seminole East Oil Field and the Wescott Oil Field define the economic landscape of this Gaines County region during the early 21st century. The map illustrates a grid of county roads, such as Co Rd-104 and Co Rd-107, that service the extensive petroleum extraction infrastructure characteristic of the Permian Basin. This systematic road network connects the oil fields with local centers like Fairview, demonstrating the industry's role in the rural layout of the High Plains.

The natural terrain is punctuated by Wardswell Draw, a subtle drainage feature that winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Primary transit is facilitated by Ranch Road 1429 and Telephone Rd, which provide access to more remote sections of the county. The transition from agricultural land to intensive energy production is clearly visible through the density of well sites and the specialized road systems developed for industrial transport.
