2010 Map of Archer City NE

About this map

The Little Wichita River meanders across this northern Texas landscape, defining a region where the traditional cattle ranching industry intersects with modern energy production. Significant tracts of land are held by established outfits such as the Mule Shoe Ranch, Coleman Ranch, and Edwards Ranch, illustrating the persistent ranching heritage of Archer County. This 2010 survey highlights the density of the local petroleum economy, showing expansive subterranean resources via the Scotland-Little Wichita Oil Field, Minton-Strawn Oil Field, and Chalk Hill Oil Field. The terrain is punctuated by small-scale water management features like Dillards Lake Dam, Mexican Tank, and Red Tank, which are essential for livestock in this semi-arid environment. Local travel is facilitated by rural connectors such as Coleman Rd and Davis Rd, linking the scattered ranches and oil operations throughout the quadrangle.
