1967 Map of Buzzard Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Ross Ranch and Moorhouse Ranch anchor this landscape of north-central Texas, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Wichita River and the deeply incised Getaway Canyon. This 1967 survey, later photorevised in 1981, illustrates a specialized ranching and extractive economy. The presence of numerous Drill Holes, a significant Oil Field, and multiple Landing Strips points to the industrial activity that shared this land with cattle operations. Water management is a primary theme, evident in the Upper Blakey Windmill and Lower Blakey Windmill, as well as the Snake Den Tank and man-made reservoirs along Little Croton Creek. From the heights of Buzzard Peak down to the gravel pits and pipelines, the map documents the infrastructure required to sustain life and industry in King County.
