Google “Ward County Vanguard”
Click the first option which says “Welcome to Vanguard Ward County, TX Search”
This should take you to something called “Official Public Records Search”. You don’t have to be a member to search or use it. Go ahead and put in “DR/1/117” and search.
1 result should turn up. The public map for all of these water tracts was filed in 1891 and it’s really hard to read but you may be able to match up your section with the RRC map above and then try to determine where your water tract is.
You also may want to call the County Clerk’s office in Monahans. Their offices are closed to non Ward County residents right now, so if you’re in the area don’t go there, but it’s possible that they may have an answer for you since a lot of people own in these water tracts who aren’t local.
Good luck to you. If you can’t get any better answers I have a print out of the water tracts that is more legible than the one online.
