2016 Map of Wink South

About this map

Wink and the northern outskirts of Monahans anchor this 2016 survey of the Permian Basin landscape. The map captures a moment of modern transition across the Winkler and Ward County line, where the arid terrain is defined by a rigorous grid of service roads and petroleum infrastructure. The most significant natural hydrological feature is the ephemeral Monument Draw, which meanders through the central portion of the quadrangle. Local transportation is represented by a network of rural routes including Little Joe Rd and Co Rd 120, providing access across the scrubland between these two West Texas communities. While much of the area appears open, the naming of specific residential and commercial arteries like S Oaklawn Dr and S Standlind Rd in the north indicates the southern expansion of the local settlement.
