2022 Map of Alibates Ranch

About this map

Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument dominates the eastern high ground of this Potter County landscape, preserving the site where prehistoric peoples gathered colorful agatized dolomite for thousands of years. The western portion of the map is defined by the expanse of Lake Meredith, part of the Lake Meredith National Recreation Area. The topography is deeply incised by numerous drainages including Plum Cr, Mullinaw Cr, and Alibates Cr, which flow toward the reservoir through a network of canyons. Cultural history is traced through rugged access routes like Alibates Rd and the McBride Ranch Road (Rt 212), while natural water sources like Coldwater Spring provide focal points in this arid terrain. The map also delineates the northern boundary shared with Moore County, showing a landscape managed for both geological heritage and modern recreation.
