About this map

Midland expanded significantly into its southeastern quadrants by the late 2010s, as shown in this detailed topographic record. The urban street grid, characterized by thoroughfares like W Texas Ave, E California Ave, and E Florida Ave, transitions into an organized network of county roads as the landscape moves toward the more open terrain of the Permian Basin. This transition highlights the city's outward growth away from its established core.

Watercourses such as Midland Draw and Monahans Draw provide the primary natural relief in this largely developed and subdivided area. These drainage patterns influenced the placement of early infrastructure, now visible alongside more modern developments like E Longview Ave and the dense rural road network represented by S Co Rd 1161. The map serves as a precise document of the intersection between urban residential planning and the underlying West Texas geography.
