2012 Map of Kiowa Peak NW

About this map

J M A Ranch and the lands surrounding Parramore Ranch Lake characterize this portion of King County, where the landscape is defined by ranching operations and a complex network of drainage creeks. The hydrologic system is dominated by the winding path of N Croton Cr, which is fed by tributaries including Big Buffalo Cr and Pen Br. These water sources, along with man-made features like the Pen Br Tank, are essential markers in this semi-arid environment. Infrastructure is sparse, consisting primarily of private ranch roads and local thoroughfares such as Co Rd-350, reflecting a remote area where large-scale landholdings remain the primary focus. The map illustrates how human activity in this part of Texas is tied directly to the management of water and livestock across the varied terrain of the High Plains.
