About this map

Ranch Rd 2355 cuts across this Ward County landscape, serving as the primary transit artery through a region defined by arid ranching operations. The terrain is marked by essential water infrastructure, such as Division Tank and Tank on the Hill, which suggest the vital importance of managed water resources for livestock in this part of West Texas. These named tanks, along with First Tank in the southeast, indicate a landscape organized around the practicalities of cattle ranching and the management of a dry environment. The sparse distribution of named features reflects the open, unpopulated nature of the territory during this period of the late twenty-teens, where human presence is primarily indicated by these functional landmarks and the singular paved road.
