About this map

The N Wichita River meanders through the heart of this North Texas ranching landscape, creating a complex series of oxbows and bends that define the local topography. This region of Knox County is characterized by large-scale cattle operations and rural infrastructure, anchored by specific points of interest like the North Fork Pens and the settlement at K Camp. The hydrology is particularly prominent, featuring several tributaries such as S Beaver Cr and Colwell Cr, along with the small Kiowa Lake in the southeastern quadrant.

Transportation through this sparsely populated territory relies on a network of established ranch routes. Ranch Road 1919 and Ranch Road 267 provide primary access, while named local paths like Halsell Rd and Montgomery Ranch Rd reflect the historical and ongoing importance of specific family holdings to the county's development. This survey serves as a clear record of modern ranch life, documenting the intersection of natural water sources and human-built livestock infrastructure.
