About this map

Oil Well Windmill and CoCo Windmill stand as prominent landmarks in this arid section of Reeves County, where the landscape is defined by the vital search for water. The terrain is marked by ephemeral water sources and collection points such as Johnson Lake, Rock Tank, and Willis Tank. Several named springs, including Twin Spring, Johnson Spring, and Canyon Spring, offer a look at the natural hydrology that supported ranching in this West Texas region. The drainage of Cottonwood Cr and Coalson Draw cuts through the desert floor, leading toward the isolated height of Round Mtn in the northeast. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is represented by a network of county roads like Gresham Rd and Co Rd-231, which connect the various windmills that remain essential to the area's pastoral identity.
