2010 Map of Hudgens Ranch

About this map

McClellan Creek meanders across this Gray County landscape, defining the drainage patterns for a region primarily characterized by large-scale ranching operations. The map documents the enduring footprint of established Texas Panhandle holdings, including the Dial-Dickey Ranch, Hudgens Ranch, and Pursley Ranch. These named properties serve as central hubs for a network of rural routes, such as 22 RD and V RD, which follow the section lines of the high plains. Water resources like Red Mud Creek and Peterson Creek are vital markers in this open country, where the intersection at Gray Y indicates a rare named junction in an otherwise sparsely populated area. The layout of roads and ranch sites illustrates the continued reliance on traditional land divisions and cattle-driven geography in the early 21st century.
