About this map

Vealmoor anchors this West Texas landscape, where the local economy and geography are defined by the convergence of ranching infrastructure and petroleum extraction. The settlement is flanked by the Vealmoor Oil Field to the east and the Jo Mill Oil Field to the northwest, highlighting the industrial footprint on this Howard County territory. The terrain is a network of intermittent drainage systems, including Rattlesnake Creek, Wolf Creek, and Glen Creek, which are supplemented by numerous man-made water catchments such as Windmill Tank, Gravel Tank, and Six Section Tank.

Evidence of local history and rural life is centered at the Vealmoor Cemetery and along the grid of ranch-to-market roads like Ranch Rd 1584 and W FM 1785. Significant geographic markers such as Dorward Draw and Long Hollow Tank reflect the specialized terminology of the Permian Basin's arid environment. The map provides a precise record of the property boundaries and transport routes that shaped this community at the start of the 21st century.
