The Little Joe Oil Field and a network of livestock infrastructure define this area of the Permian Basin as it appeared during the late 2000s. The landscape is characterized by the sparse, functional marks of West Texas ranching and resource extraction, connected by a web of local roads and paths including M Cattle Co Rd. Scattered across the terrain are several named watering points essential for cattle operations, such as Windmill Number Two, Windmill NumberThree, and Windmill Number Four. The presence of the China Windmill further illustrates the reliance on groundwater in this arid environment. This survey captures a specific moment in the industrial and agricultural life of the region, where oil production and ranching coexist across a vast, open expanse.
