About this map

The N Wichita River meanders across this northern Texas landscape, defining a region dominated by large-scale ranching operations. The namesake Halsell Ranch and its associated Halsell Lake serve as central landmarks in a territory where water management is critical for livestock. The prevalence of features like the West End Windmill and Deadman Windmill underscores the reliance on groundwater in this arid environment.

Smaller outposts like West Camp and the Ellis Ranch illustrate the organized layout of rural land holdings connected by a network of county roads. Drainage patterns are shaped by several tributaries, including Middle Beaver Cr, S Beaver Cr, and Deadman Cr, which channel seasonal flow through the prairie. This documentation by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a clear view of the ranching infrastructure and hydrological features that sustain the local economy.
