Tarzan lies in a land where the sky seems to stretch on forever, a vast canvas of blues and grays that shifts with the passing hours. It lies 22.1 miles north-north-east of Midland, TX (from Midland, TX: bearing 16°T), and is situated 19.7 miles north-north-west of Greenwood. The terrain here is a study in subtle contours, a gently rolling landscape of dry grasses and mesquite, punctuated by the occasional hardy scrub oak. Sun-baked earth, the color of faded sienna, characterizes much of the ground, and in the heat of the day, a shimmering haze often rises, softening the distant horizon. The air, particularly as dusk descends, carries a dry, clean scent, a whisper of dust and sagebrush that speaks of the arid, open country. There's a quietude that settles over Tarzan, a stillness broken only by the rustle of wind through the sparse vegetation or the distant call of a bird. The story of Tarzan is one deeply rooted in the ebb and flow of West Texas agriculture and oil. For generations, the land has yielded its bounty, first through the patient cultivation of cotton and cattle, and later through the discovery of rich subterranean reserves. This dual legacy has shaped the character of Tarzan, a place where the hard work of the rancher and the prospector are understood and respected. You can still see it in the weathered faces of the folks who call Tarzan home, a resilience forged by the elements and the boom-and-bust cycles of industry. While the oil rigs may stand as silent sentinels of a more recent past, the enduring spirit of community, built on shared labor and a deep connection to this wide-open country, remains the true hallmark of Tarzan.
