1971 Map of Many Post Camp

About this map

The Canadian River carves a wide path through the heart of the Texas Panhandle, defining the landscape of the Many Post Camp quadrangle. This 1971 field-checked survey reveals a ranching environment where water sources are the primary landmarks. Numerous windmills, such as the Knowles Windmill, Bolen Windmill, and Muscatel Windmill, are scattered across the high plains above the river valley. The presence of the Old Farm Crossing (Ford) suggests established movement patterns across the riverbed, connecting localized livestock operations like the Old Farm Camp and the namesake Many Post Camp. Notable geological and hydrologic features include Goodnight Canyon and Oil Well Spring, illustrating the intersection of natural resources and agricultural life in Oldham County. The map also captures the Hartley and Oldham county line as an indefinite boundary crossing the northern portion of the sheet.
