2012 Map of Fields Canyon

About this map

The Middle Pease River flows across this Cottle County landscape, carving through the terrain where the drainage of Fields Canyon and Bar Canyon meet the river valley. The region's cattle ranching heritage is evidenced by the density of named water sources and landmarks essential for livestock in this semi-arid environment. Ranching infrastructure dominates the map, with several specifically named structures such as the Richland Windmill, Samson Windmill, and Lucky Knob Windmill providing vital landmarks across the open range. Broad, level areas like Leary Flat and Cooper Flat are bisected by a network of rural routes, including Ranch Road 94 and Co Rd 240. This survey documents a working landscape where intermittent streams like Bitter Lake Cr and Turtle Hole Cr dictate the placement of ranch improvements and corrals.
