Oil, wind, solar, we've got it all

- Fisher Co Map -

Throw a bunch of cattle and cotton in there to make a full picture.

The legend for my poor ol' map that is pictured here is orange for wind, blue for oil, green for solar and pink for oil permits. This represents the month of October.

I am definitely not claiming accuracy, just that I did my best. The orange, blue and green tabs represent Texas File county records; the pink tabs represent Rail Road Commission records.

The county record tabs represent mentions of properties. A lot are new leases, but ratifications, transfers, etc. are included. I tabbed anything that seemed like it had to do with oil, wind or solar activity.

It's interesting to note that some lease extensions, east and north of the old Hobbs Baptist Church, names Richland Development Corporation as the lessor. The vice president of that company, Catherine Lebsack, is also named as the VP of Land and Exploration for Devon, according to the Devon website. Looking back in the records, since 2012, when Devon was a hot ticket around here, there's been a lot of back-and-forth activity between Devon and Richland. Perhaps Richland is a land management division of Devon. The current leases are from Richland to Clear Fork Inc.
