About this map

Seven D Ranch and the Salt House Line Camp characterize this West Texas ranching landscape, where survival depends on the strategic placement of water sources. The region is defined by a network of drainage basins including Causey Draw, Tepee Draw, and McDowell Draw, which eventually feed toward the Middle Concho River.

Named landmarks like the High Lonesome Windmill, Divide Windmill, and Pecan Windmill reflect the essential role of wind power in maintaining livestock throughout the rugged terrain. Transportation is limited to functional ranch roads such as Lewis Trap Rd and Salthouse Rd, which connect remote camps and windmills across the expansive Irion County territory. This 2010 survey provides a detailed record of the pastoral infrastructure and natural watercourses before modern shifts in land use.
