About this map

The Wichita River and a complex network of irrigation channels define this landscape along the border of Wichita and Archer counties. This 2016 survey highlights a region shaped by agricultural water management, where the South Side Canal and various laterals such as SE Lateral and SQ Lateral distribute water across the plains. Small rural communities serve as focal points for the surrounding ranching and farming operations, with Mankins situated at a central road junction and Kamay located to the north.

Local landmarks often reflect the land's history through family and ranch names, including Wilson Ranch Rd, Kadane Corner, and Lucy Rd. The terrain is drained by numerous creeks like Bull Cr and Turkey Cr, while the community of Valley View sits on the northern edge of the quadrangle. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure that supports life in the North Texas plains, from established settlements to the winding paths of Deer Cr.
