About this map

Deep groundwater resources and petroleum extraction define this section of the High Plains in Hockley County. The landscape is dominated by a systematic grid of water Wells, supporting the intensive agricultural needs of the region during the mid-1980s. Industrial activity is concentrated in the southern portion of the quadrangle, where an expansive Oil Field indicates the importance of the Permian Basin's energy production. A localized Sub Station provides the necessary electrical infrastructure to support these widespread pumping operations. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and basins, a distinctive geological pattern of the Llano Estacado, which influences the distribution of the area's essential water and mineral resources.
