Welcome to The Scout Guide West Texas, Volume 2. From the cover colors ( inspired by our state flag ) to the individuals and institutions featured within these pages, Volume 2 is a celebration of the culture, heritage, and future of West Texas.
Since flagship towns like Midland and Odessa were first established, West Texas’s wide open spaces have symbolized opportunity, and not just for the oil rigs and cattle ranches that have traditionally defined our special slice of Texas. Today, West Texas boasts an abundance of culture, community, and connection.
Volume 2 is an invitation to learn more about West Texas and, most importantly, an introduction to the artists, entrepreneurs, movers, and shakers who make West Texas such a special place to live, work, and visit. Browse it, display it, share it – but most importantly, use it! It is my hope that this guide will help you connect with the people of West Texas on a deeper level and, in doing so, enjoy the wide open spaces from Midland to Marfa to their fullest.
To the businesses that appear in The Scout Guide West Texas, Volume 2, I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude. It’s an honor to tell
and be a part of – your stories.
I look forward to supporting, nurturing, and cherishing our community, and I hope you’ll join me. Love,
WESTTEXAS.THESCOUTGUIDE.COM @TSGwesttexas The Scout Guide West Texas

In 1911, Edward Franklin Sewell operated a small Texas hardware store. As was common in those days, a hardware store had all the goods any customer would need, which included the brand-new 1911 Ford Model T. Edward was known for taking great care of his customers, and he knew that he would need to give his customers driving lessons for this brand-new horseless carriage. Looking back, driving lessons were the beginning of what Sewell is known for today – legendary service.
Sewell has always been in the business of caring for people. e heartbeat of each of our brands is service to others –the foundation of our family business over 110 years ago.

STEPHANIE CARMONA Vice President
THE MAN BEHIND CARMONA RESOURCES
Meet Mike Carmona, the West Texas-bred visionary behind Carmona Resources, an environmental consultancy firm bringing the best in the business together. For Carmona, the decision to base his business in Midland was a no-brainer. “It’s the place to grow the company, and it’s where my family is, it’s home,” Mike tells us.
Family. It’s a guiding principle for Carmona, who works alongside his wife, Stephanie, in the industry in which his brother, Paul, got him his first job at 18. That job was oil field maintenance, by the way. Despite being a local leader in oil and gas, Carmona still considers his greatest accomplishment to be his role as a father to his three children.

WEST TEXAS
HEADED FAR WEST
THERE’S WEST TEXAS AND THEN THERE’S FAR WEST TEXAS.
Extending west of the Pecos River, "Far West Texas" or the "Trans-Pecos," a term introduced in 1887 by geologist Robert T. Hill, includes towns like Alpine, Fort Davis, and the internationally beloved Marfa. From icons of the region to experiences you can’t miss, here’s what you need to know about Far West Texas.
Without Donald Judd, there would be no Marfa – at least as the world knows it today. Founded in the 1880s as a railroad water stop, Marfa experienced an economic downturn a er the post-WWII decommissioning of The Marfa Air Field and water shortages that damaged agricultural output.
Then, the renowned artist Donald Judd arrived. Drawn to Marfa’s desert landscape for its distinct lack of titles, artist statements, or curators’ notes, Judd began purchasing and renovating properties to suit his large-scale, permanent installations. By 1977, Judd established the ideas of Judd Foundation, founding the Chinati Foundation in 1986. Artists, sometimes commissioned by the larger-than-life figure to contribute to his extensive indoor/outdoor exhibitions, followed Judd to Marfa. And so began a new era of Marfa: one led by Judd, who envisioned a place where art could be seen by everyone for free.
Even in Far West Texas, The University of Texas’s reach can be felt. Out of the Davis Mountains emerges McDonald Observatory, which benefits from the mountain range’s high and dry peaks.
Housing one of the largest optical telescopes in the world, the McDonald Observatory is one of the world’s leading centers for astronomical research, teaching, public education, and outreach. Currently, research includes the search for and understanding of planetary systems, stars and stellar spectroscopy, the interstellar medium, extragalactic astronomy, and theoretical astronomy. While McDonald Observatory’s focus may be out of this world, it welcomes West Texas inside, hosting Star Parties that o er a celestial view from our favorite place on Earth.
The name is a misnomer. Prada Marfa, a permanent sculptural installation by Scandinavian artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset in collaboration with Ballroom Marfa, is actually located along the U.S. Route 90 closer to Valentine. In fact, it was originally intended to be Prada Nevada, though we think Prada Marfa has an equally compelling ring to it.
Featuring wares selected by Miucci Prada herself from the fall/winter 2005 collection, Elmgreen and Dragset planned for the installation to degrade over time. That plan, however, was revised a er vandals gra tied the exterior and stole its contents the night the sculpture was completed. Quickly restored, Prada Marfa evolved into a cultural attraction beyond the artists’ expectations or intentions thanks to visits by celebrities (hey, Beyoncé) and artists to its lonely locale.
HOTEL SAINT GEORGE | 105 South Highland Avenue | Marfa | A 55 room hotel, Hotel Saint George o ers an intimate, thoughtfully designed experience that captures the essence of Marfa’s iconic artistry and natural beauty.
THE CHANDLER RANCH | 535 Independence Creek Road | Dryden | Family owned for over a century, The Chandler Ranch is a Far West gem boasting crystal cool waters and outdoor activities fit for the whole family.
COMMUNITIE MARFA | 122 North Highland Avenue | Marfa | A trip to Far West Texas requires certain accessories, all of which can be found at Communitie. Our pick? A straw hat to keep the desert sun at bay.
COBRA ROCK | 211 South Dean Street | Marfa | Shop in-house designed and handcra ed leather shoes and boots alongside a thoughtful selection of goods from independent artisans.
RABA MARFA | 212 East San Antonio Street | Marfa | Shop made-in-Marfa goods, vintage and new clothing, accessories, home goods, and lifestyle needs all exude the quintessential high-desert lifestyle.
BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK | Named a er a – you guessed it – big bend in the Rio Grande/Río Bravo river, Big Bend National Park in the Chihuahuan Desert boasts archaeological sites dating back 10 thousand years, the Chisos Mountains, and exceptional diversity in flora and fauna.
DAVIS MOUNTAINS STATE PARK | High in the mountains of West Texas, you’ll fi nd a beautiful, historic park with miles of trails fit for hiking, horseback exploration, or mountain biking. One of the earliest Civilian Conservation Corps projects, the park boasts a rock overlook, adobe buildings, overnight lodging, and more.
BALMORHEA STATE PARK | With crystal clear, spring-fed waters, Balmorhea is quite literally an oasis in West Texas’s desert landscape. More than 15 million gallons of water flow through the natural pool daily, making it one of the world’s largest spring-fed swimming pools and perfect for swimming, scuba, and, of course, cooling o .
MONAHANS SANDHILLS STATE PARK | With thousands of acres of cream-colored, wind-ripped sand dunes, Monahans Sandhills State Park feels otherworldly. Think of it as a Texas-sized sandbox perfect for a picnic and spectacular sunsets. Just don’t expect any marked trails.
BORDO | 1210 West San Antonio Street | Marfa | Bordo is a culinary oasis in the middle of the desert, boasting imported fi ne Italian goods (e.g. oils, herbs, spices, charcuterie, and specialty cheeses) and house-made deli favorites like sandwiches, pasta, and gelato.
COCHINEAL | 107 West San Antonio Street | Marfa | Helmed by James Beard Semi-Finalist, Executive Chef Alexandra Gates, Cochineal is a must-visit spot for its seasonally inspired, locally sourced multi course menu.
LAVENTURE | 105 South Highland Avenue | Marfa | This Marfa favorite delivers a creative, ingredient-driven seasonal menu with regional influences all from Hotel Saint George. Enjoy delicious oven-fi red pizzas, small and large plates, and salads - plus a perfectly paired wine from their extensive list.
MARGARET’S IN MARFA | 103 Highland Street | Marfa | Inspired by Nana Margaret, Margaret’s serves up comfort food for dinner, including highlights like cheese toast, spaghetti bolognese, and key-lime pie.
THE POOL | 205 East El Paso Street | Marfa | Cool o on a hot desert day at The Pool, locals’ favorite spot for a swim and drink. Complimentary for guests of Hotel Saint George, with day passes available.
CHINATI FOUNDATION | 1 Cavalry Row | Marfa | A world-famous destination for large-scale, permanent art installations founded by Donald Judd. Reservations for tours are required in advance, and space is limited.
MARFA LIGHTS | 1 Cavalry Row | Marfa | The fi rst recorded sightings were in 1883, but they still haven’t figured out the origin of this infamous phenomenon. Head out past dark to decide for yourself.
MARFA SPIRIT CO. | 320 West El Paso Street | Marfa | Marfa’s fi rst and only distillery has been a smashing success for its unique spirits and fabulous tasting room. Order a ranch water and enjoy Chef Seth Siegel-Gardner’s outstanding menu.
