Goldsmith, TX

united states

Goldsmith is a tiny oil country town of 177 people in West Texas, about 20 miles southeast of Odessa via Interstate 20 (Exit 126) and Farm Road 1936. Most traffic comes from daily commuters on Highway 158 to Odessa's refineries or longer hauls on I-20 between Midland and other regional centers. The area's flat Permian Basin landscape features classic semi-arid conditions with scorching summers and mild winters. You'll spot Goldsmith by its bright blue water tower rising above the mesquite and oil service yards that define this working community.
