2012 Map of Ballard Camp

About this map

Ballard Camp anchors this West Texas landscape, where the seasonal flow of the Middle Pease River and Ballard Cr defines the local geography. This area of Motley County is a testament to the persistence of ranching and water management on the High Plains, characterized by a dense network of named windmills that serve as vital landmarks. Distinctive names like the Big Old Glory Windmill, Boxcar Windmill, and Beauchumt Windmill indicate specific family claims and historical land divisions. Water conservation is evident through established tanks such as Little Bear Cr Tank and Phone Line Tank, which supplement the natural drainages of Tee Pee Cr and Hackberry Cr. The infrastructure is rounded out by county roads like Co RD-231, providing access to these remote ranching outposts.
