The ringed dot is this lease's well, where the Railroad Commission's map puts it. The other dots are wells and drilling permits of the last 24 months on the land around it; the counts are for everything in the picture, which is about 6 miles across. The thin brown lines are the original land surveys; where there is room, a survey carries its abstract number, the number deeds and division orders cite.

Other leases named Thomas

6 leases share this name in district 8A. The Railroad Commission gives each gas well its own number and each oil lease another, so one unit often shows up as several of these.

Other Thomas leases in Borden County

1 lease in Borden County in the same field or with the same operator carries the Thomas name. Operators often name the leases on one family's land alike, with a letter or unit number after the name. Sharing a name proves no tie: your division order says which ones pay you.
