1966 Map of Big Four Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The North Wichita River meanders across this West Texas landscape, marking a terrain defined by converging watercourses and ranching history. Located at the intersection of King, Knox, and Foard counties, the map highlights the Big Four Ranch and the settlement of Masterson to the southwest. The presence of numerous river crossings, labeled as fords, and an extensive network of fence lines indicated by the USGS reflects the area's primary use as grazing land during the mid-1960s. The drainage patterns are complex, featuring the Middle Fork Wichita River and several tributaries like Buffalo Creek and Salt Creek. A solitary Gravel Pit near the northern riverbank and a marked Pipeline running through the southern sections show the subtle infrastructure of industry and transport in an otherwise open, rural expanse.
