2012 Map of J Y Ranch

About this map

JY Ranch and its operations define this reach of King County, Texas, where the landscape is shaped by the winding courses of the Middle Fork Wichita River and the S Wichita River. This 2012 survey illustrates the isolated ranching infrastructure typical of the region, including the JY Ranch South Camp and the private JY Masterson Landing Field. The drainage patterns of Willow Cr and Bird Cr weave through the central terrain, eventually feeding into the larger river systems. In the southwestern corner, the Bateman Oil Field indicates the intersection of traditional cattle ranching with the mineral extraction industry. The map captures a moment of modern ranch life, documented through a network of county roads like Co RD-251 and Co RD-274 that connect these remote outposts across the prairie.
