2022 Map of Boys Ranch West

About this map

Boys Ranch serves as the focal point of this high-plains landscape, situated where the Canadian River cuts through the Texas Panhandle. This area is defined by a complex drainage system where multiple branches of Cheyenne Creek, including Middle Cheyenne Cr, E Cheyenne Cr, and W Cheyenne Cr, converge toward the river valley. The settlement pattern reflects the ranching history of Oldham County, with access routes like Quien Sabe Ranch Rd and Bivins Ranch Rd connecting the upland pastures to the valley floor. Genealogists will find particular value in the presence of several burial grounds, including the well-known Boot Hill Cem and Cal Farley's Boys Ranch Cem, along with the Muncy Cem located south of the river. These features, along with local watercourses like Rica Cr and Tascosa Cr, document the localized naming of a specific ranching frontier.
