About this map

Cedar Lake Oil Field defines the industrial footprint of this West Texas landscape, where the petroleum economy overlays a grid of section lines and rural tracks. The western edge of the survey is dominated by the saline depression of Cedar Lake, a significant hydrological feature in this semi-arid region. Connectivity across these plains is maintained by a network of county thoroughfares, including Ranch Road 1066 and Co Rd-151, which facilitate access to the remote well sites and agricultural plots. The map reveals the systematic organization of the land, from the north-south alignment of Co Road B and Co Road C to the diagonal path of Co Rd-143 as it cuts toward the southwestern corner. This layout illustrates the intersection of mid-century infrastructure and modern energy extraction in Gaines County.
