About this map

West Texas ranching and petroleum interests define this high-plains landscape as it was documented in 1969. The territory is dominated by the sprawling White Baker Oil Field and Priest Beavers Oil Field, where numerous drill holes and oil wells trace the extraction economy of Pecos County. Large-scale livestock operations are anchored at Sherbino Ranch, Owens Ranch, and Conn Ranch, highlighting the region’s dual reliance on surface grazing and subsurface mineral wealth.

Topographic relief is concentrated around the winding course of Fourmile Draw, which carves through the terrain toward the northeast. Connectivity in this isolated stretch of Texas is represented by a small Landing Strip near the Sherbino headquarters and a network of secondary roads linking the various ranch houses. Notable landmarks like a Cave and a specific stand of Cedar provide fine-grained detail for those studying the physical geography of the Trans-Pecos region.
