1984 Map of Nance Ranch

About this map

The Nance Ranch serves as a central hub in this section of the Texas Panhandle, illustrating the connection between academic research and the regional ranching economy. This landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, notably where Timber Creek and Sunday Creek cut through the high plains. A small Cem is located near the northern edge of the ranch property, providing a point of interest for local genealogical research. The presence of a Gravel Pit and various infrastructure like the Aqueduct and several pipelines across the terrain reflects the industrial demands of water management and resource extraction in Randall County during the early 1980s. The network of draws, such as Corral Draw and Bull Draw, further emphasizes the importance of natural topography to the area's historical land use.
