About this map

Quito Oil Field and the nearby Poquito Oil Field define the industrial character of this corner of Ward County. The landscape is marked by a network of ranch roads and access tracks, most notably Ranch Rd 2355, which cuts diagonally through the southern half of the quadrangle. This area represents a characteristic West Texas intersection of large-scale ranching and petroleum extraction, where names like Hays Windmill and South Windmill suggest historical water sources that precede or coexist with oil infrastructure. Water management for livestock remains critical in this arid environment, evidenced by scattered reservoirs such as Division Tank, Tank on the Hill, and First Tank. The terrain is sparsely populated, with these utilitarian landmarks providing the primary navigational points across the open range.
