2013 Map of Cottonwood Camp

About this map

Cottonwood Camp and the surrounding rangeland of Hall County define this landscape, where a network of cattle camps and water sources support ranching operations in a dry environment. The terrain is marked by significant drainages such as the Wind River and the N Pease River, which have carved deep features like T Bar Canyon and Poker Canyon into the earth. Settlement is sparse, characterized by functional outposts like Alto Vista Camp, Bridlebit Camp, and Cedar Top Camp. The survival of these cattle operations relies on an infrastructure of scattered water points, including the Johnson Windmill, Dry Lake Windmill, and White Windmill. Access to these remote sites is provided by a grid of local roads and Ranch Road 656, which serves as a primary artery through the rolling ranch land.
