1968 Map of Cammak Camp

About this map

The Canadian River meanders through the southern portion of this landscape, carving a distinct corridor through the arid Quay County plains. In the late 1960s, the region was defined by a vast network of water infrastructure critical for ranching, centered around named hubs like Cammak Camp and Collins Camp. The map documents numerous family and ranch-named water sources, including Flag Ranch Well, Schoonermaker Well, and Ditterline Well, which illustrate the spread of land use across the township. To the north, Sager Draw cuts across the terrain near several Jeep trails, while an area of Shifting Sand near the eastern boundary reveals the active nature of the local geography. This survey provides a precise look at the rural economy of the era, where survival and settlement were tethered to these specific, named groundwater points.
