I have wasted so much time trying to locate some property on the online Railroad Commission maps. I have not been able to figure out how to navigate them. Can anyone give me some tips? Or tell me some other source to help locate the property?

Hey, you could try to input the lease name or the well number if you know either.

You need a PhD to navigate that website it is crazy! I have been trying for a year and still have no idea what I am doing plus it changes all the time. Best bet just plug and play over and over again till you figure it out.
