About this map

Alamocitos Camp serves as a focal point in this portion of the Texas Panhandle, where the landscape is defined by the vital presence of intermittent water sources and ranching infrastructure. The network of drainage systems is complex, featuring Alamocitos Creek and its various branches, including the West Prong, Middle Prong, and East Prong Alamocitos Creek. These waterways, alongside Minneosa Creek, illustrate the natural irrigation patterns of Oldham County.

Strategic water management is evident through numerous named landmarks that indicate a reliance on groundwater and captured runoff. The map highlights several functional sites such as Goodnight Tank, LS Tank, and Big Spring. Additionally, a series of windmills, including the Deep Well Windmill, Skunk Arroyo Windmill, and TO Woody Windmill, are positioned across the terrain, marking essential nodes for livestock and habitation in this arid environment.
