1966 Map of Jay Taylor Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Jay Taylor Ranch and the nearby Binford Ranch anchor this mid-1960s landscape in Oldham County, where the High Plains drop into the drainage systems of the Canadian River valley. The terrain is defined by the sharp erosion of Mitchell Canyon and the winding course of Sierrita de la Cruz Creek, which flows northeast across the quadrangle. This is a working cattle landscape, evidenced by an extensive network of water infrastructure critical for ranching in the Texas Panhandle. Numerous named windmills, such as the Salt Windmill and Jog Windmill, are positioned near stock tanks like Eagle Tank and Niece Tank. A Claypit and several Gravel Pits suggest localized mineral extraction, while a prominent Radio Tower stands as a modern landmark against the traditional ranching backdrop. The presence of Division Lake and Red Lake indicates the importance of surface water management in this arid environment.
