1966 Map of Franklin Bend
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Wichita River carves a dramatic loop through this portion of the Texas ranchlands, defining the prominent landform known as Franklin Bend. The landscape is dominated by large-scale cattle operations and vast open country, evidenced by isolated outposts like La Paloma Cow Camp and Sweet La Cruz Cow Camp. These camps, along with a remote Landing Strip, suggest a region where distance and topography dictated a decentralized pattern of life centered on livestock and watershed management.
