About this map

Happy Hereford Ranch sits in the southwestern corner of this Randall County landscape, anchoring a vast network of grazing land and water infrastructure. The terrain is defined by a reliance on traditional prairie water sources, evidenced by numerous named landmarks such as the Schoolhouse Windmill, North Cottonwood Windmill, and Cottonwood Trap Windmill. These features indicate the historical and functional importance of wind power in sustaining cattle operations across the High Plains.

A strictly gridded road system including FM 168, Brushland Rd, and S FM 1705 cuts across the open country, connecting the ranch to broader regional routes like Ranch Road 1705. The distribution of features like the East Pasture Windmill and South Pasture Windmill illustrates the managed division of the land for ranching, while the Oil Well Windmill points to the area's diverse industrial resource extraction.
