Energy extraction defines this area of the Llano Estacado, where the infrastructure of the Permian Basin is clearly visible across the flat Texas plains. The landscape is primarily organized around the Means North Oil Field and the Nolley Oil Field, illustrating the industrial character of the region in the early 21st century. A precise grid of county roads and industrial access routes, such as Telephone Rd and Co Rd 422, facilitates the movement of equipment and personnel between active sites. This survey documents the intersection of rural Gaines County property lines with the sprawling network of pipelines and well pads that support the local economy.
