2013 Map of Deal

About this map

Antelope Peak rises above the Panhandle landscape north of Amarillo, serving as a primary landmark in this ranching-dominated territory. The small settlement of Deal and the site of Wilhelm are situated among a network of drainages including Antelope Creek and its various forks. The map reveals a land defined by legacy cattle operations, specifically naming the Poling Ranch, Bennett Ranch, and Sanford Ranch. The road network reflects both modern rural development and historic passage, with local routes like Chisolm Trl, Santa Fe Trl, and Cherokee Trl cutting across the northern reaches. This topographic record documents the subtle relief of the High Plains, where the headwaters of Turkey Creek and Short Creek carve shallow valleys into the open plateau, highlighting the vital relationship between water sources and the established ranching estates of Carson County.
