About this map

The 6666 Ranch North Camp serves as a focal point in this 1967 survey of northern King County, depicting a landscape defined by cattle ranching and essential water infrastructure. The terrain is marked by a network of family-named and industrial water sources, including the Petty Windmill, Humble Windmill, and Tidewater Windmill, which highlight the importance of groundwater in this semi-arid region. These landmarks, alongside features like Hackberry Tank, trace the survival and operation of remote ranching outposts.

Watercourses such as Willow Creek, Saline Creek, and Cottonwood Creek weave through the topographic elevations, including the prominent Fourmile Hill. The presence of a significant Pipeline and scattered industrial markers like a Drill Hole point to the early stages of energy exploration overlaying the traditional ranching grounds. This map offers a clear view of West Texas land use where natural drainage and man-made wells dictated the patterns of human settlement and industry.
