Upton County
Excavation & Dirt Work Contractor in Midkiff, TX
Midkiff sits south of Midland on SH-349 where ranch country and oilfield activity share the same county roads. The work here runs both ways — stock ponds and ranch roads on one job, well pads and lease roads on the next.
Rangefinder Excavation has run equipment across this part of the Basin since 2018, and we grade for Upton County ground instead of fighting it.
Local Note
Ranch roads, stock ponds and oilfield pad work are the steady jobs around Midkiff, often on the same property.
- Ground conditions
- Upton County ground turns rocky in places, with caliche ledge close to the surface — shallow rock changes both how a job digs and what it costs.
- Water & drainage
- Land falls off toward the draws, which helps drainage but concentrates runoff into channels that cut fast if a crossing or an outfall is not armored.
- Getting there
- SH-349 carries the through traffic; ranch and lease access runs off Upton County roads and private two-tracks past that.
- Permits
- TxDOT's Odessa district covers SH-349 frontage; Upton County Road & Bridge handles county-road approaches and culvert sizing.
