2016 Map of Big George Tank

About this map

Big George Tank and several other water management features dominate this high plains landscape of northwestern Oldham County. The map details a cattle-ranching environment where life revolves around isolated water sources like Joaquin Springs and the eponymous George Spring Tank. The drainage patterns of George Canyon and Rock Springs Cr carve through the terrain, leading toward Bluff Cr in the south. The reliance on artificial tanks and named natural springs such as Cheyenne Spring and Rock Springs highlights the arid character of the Texas Panhandle. Transportation is minimal, defined primarily by the E Main Ranch Rd, which provides the primary access route across these wide-open private ranch lands. This survey offers a precise record of water infrastructure, from the Big Red Tank to the Little Red Tank, essential for modern ranching operations in the region.
