1971 Map of Boys Ranch East

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Tascosa and Boys Ranch anchor this landscape along the north bank of the Canadian River in the Texas Panhandle. The area is defined by the complex drainage systems of Rica Creek, Tascosa Creek, and Pescado Creek cutting through the High Plains. Transport and infrastructure are vital to this ranching country, evidenced by the Ft Worth and Denver railroad line and a local Landing Strip. Cultural markers like the Tascosa Cem and the Bivins Lit Ranch speak to the local history of settlement and large-scale land use in Oldham County. Numerous gas wells and drill holes dot the terrain, showing the expansion of energy exploration into the traditional grazing lands. The presence of a Flowing Well and several springs highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid environment.
