About this map

Lowrance Ranch and the industrial infrastructure of the Juniper Gas Field anchor this mid-1960s Texas landscape where King, Foard, and Cottle counties converge. The terrain is deeply defined by the winding course of the Middle Fork Wichita River, which carves through a region marked by prominent elevations like Lowrance Mountain and Wild Horse Mountain. Scattered gas wells and drill holes indicate the active energy extraction of the era, supported by a network of pipelines and a dedicated Pumping Station.

Water sources are vital markers in this semi-arid environment, including Pouring Spring, Farrer Spring Creek, and Marys Lake. Transportation is limited to rugged private tracks and a specialized Landing Area, suggesting the isolated nature of these large ranching and mineral operations. The presence of Bull Canyon and Love Creek further illustrates the complex drainage patterns that shape the local topography.
