About this map

Quito Oil Field and the nearby Poquito Oil Field define the industrial footprint of this Ward County landscape. This portion of West Texas is characterized by a network of service roads and resource extraction points, with Ranch Road 2355 cutting across the northern reaches. The scarcity of water is evident in the reliance on man-made features such as Division Tank, Tank on the Hill, and First Tank, which provide essential catchments in the arid terrain.

Water and wind power remain critical to land use here, as seen in the placement of named landmarks like South Windmill and Hays Windmill. These features indicate the persistent infrastructure required to support activity in a region dominated by the petroleum industry and cattle ranching. The map provides a clear look at the intersecting paths and pipelines that connect these remote production sites and water sources.
