1966 Map of Ballard Camp

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Middle Pease River carves a broad valley through the ranching country of Motley County, where the 1966 landscape is defined by its water infrastructure. Named camps and small outposts like Ballard Camp and the settlement of Ballard anchor the region, supported by a dense network of specialized livestock watering points. The map meticulously records these features, including the Boxcar Windmill, Section Two Windmill, and Stotts Windmill, alongside several tanks like the Little Bear Creek Tank. In the southern reaches, industrial activity is noted at the Gravel Pits near the modern highway, where a Roadside Park provides a stopping point for travelers crossing the rugged plains between drainage basins. This survey captures the transition of the West Texas landscape from open range to a more structured agricultural system, marked by property boundaries and the vital Tee Pee Creek.
