1971 Map of Bivins Channing Ranch

About this map

Bivins Channing Ranch and the nearby Bivins Channing Farm anchor this High Plains landscape at the boundary of Hartley, Moore, and Oldham Counties. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Cheyenne Creek and Rica Creek, which cut through the panhandle geography. This 1971 survey illustrates a region shaped by a specialized ranching and industrial economy, where private ranch roads connect a widespread network of Gas Wells and localized infrastructure like the Pumping Sta. The settlement of Heldon appears in the southeast corner near the Moore County line, while industrial activity is further evidenced by a Pipeline and scattered Gravel Pits. The presence of a prominent Indefinite Boundary adds a layer of cartographic interest for those researching local land divisions and ranch holdings during this era of Texas history.
