2012 Map of South Cowden Ranch

About this map

The settlement of Pleasant Farms and the working lands of South Cowden Ranch define this Ector County landscape during the early 21st century. The map reveals an intensive network of energy and ranching infrastructure, characterized by numerous water-pumping points such as the McElroy Trap Windmill and the colorfully named Hillbilly Windmill. This region of Texas illustrates the coexistence of traditional cattle ranching and modern petroleum extraction, with the Moose Oil Field and Concho Bluff North Oil Field integrated into the rural grid. Local transportation is anchored by FM-1787 and 385 Service Rd, providing access to isolated outposts like the Sheep Camp Windmill and Railway Ranch. Residential developments near the western edge are marked by a unique naming convention, including E Molar St and E Cuspid Ave, reflecting the localized growth of these West Texas communities.
