2012 Map of Alamocitos Camp

About this map

Alamocitos Camp is the central settlement in this high plains landscape of western Oldham County, defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and essential water sources. The terrain is carved by the Alamocitos Cr and its various branches, including the W Prong Alamocitos Cr, Middle Prong Alamocitos Cr, and E Prong Alamocitos Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the critical role of groundwater in this arid region, where a series of named windmills—such as the Skunk Arroyo Windmill, Alamocitos Windmill, and Oil Well Windmill—provide the necessary infrastructure for ranching operations. Natural water features like Big Spring, Spring Creek Spring, and Skunk Arroyo Spring appear alongside man-made impoundments like Goodnight Tank and LS Tank, showing how land use is dictated by the availability of water across the Texan Panhandle.
