2016 Map of Seminole SW

About this map

The high plains of the Permian Basin are defined here by a dense, geometric grid of rural roads and section lines straddling the border between Gaines Co and Andrews Co. This 2016 survey illustrates the structured agricultural and industrial layout of West Texas, where long-distance routes like Ranch Rd 2885 and Shortes Rd provide the primary connectivity across an otherwise open landscape. The map reveals a precise network of county roads, including Co Rd 322, Co Rd 336, and Co Rd 305, which segment the terrain into uniform blocks. This pattern of land use is typical of the region's ranching and resource-extraction history, showing how transportation infrastructure adapts to the flat, expansive geography of the Llano Estacado. Local family names and numeric designations preserved in labels like Co Rd 420 and the NW-series roads offer specific geographic markers for those tracing land ownership and development in this corner of Texas.
