About this map

The Canadian River meanders across the northern reaches of this Potter County landscape, where ranching operations and water management define the settlement pattern. At the heart of the region, the LS Ranch and the small settlement of Ady anchor a territory crisscrossed by deep drainages and named canyon systems. The map reveals the critical infrastructure of West Texas land use, noting numerous named water sources such as Rheumatism Tank, Lost Tubs Springs, and Eagle Canyon Tank.

Functional landmarks essential to cattle operations are documented throughout, including the Eagle Camp, Division Pens Spring, and several named windmills like High Windmill and Pocket Windmill. The topography is shaped by the complex hydrology of Sierrita de la Cruz Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which carve through the plains. Local transportation is facilitated by routes such as Ranch Rd 1061 and Tascosa Rd, connecting these remote ranching hubs during the early 21st century.
