About this map

Winkler and Loving Counties meet along an Indefinite Boundary in this remote section of the Permian Basin, where the landscape is defined by the vital infrastructure of the petroleum and ranching industries. The Little Joe Oil Field dominates the eastern portion of the terrain, marked by scattered oil wells, drill holes, and a network of pipelines. Water, the other essential resource of this arid region, is represented by a series of named landmarks like Bachelor Windmill, China Windmill, and Cattleguard Well. These sites served as crucial waypoints across the desert, connected by a web of Jeep Trails that crisscross the county lines. The 1979 photorevisions highlight the ongoing development of industrial corridors, showing how energy extraction continued to reshape the West Texas scrubland during the late twentieth century.
