1973 Map of North of Red Cow Draw

About this map

Coldwater Creek carves a deep, winding path through the high plains of the Texas Panhandle in this early 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the flat plateau and the intricate erosional drainage of the creek valley, which dominates the central and southern portions of the map. Scattered markers of human activity are sparse, primarily consisting of isolated points like Sneed and the cattle-camp reference of Lost Camp. Resource extraction and ranching infrastructure are noted through features such as a Drill Hole and a remote Well, reflecting the utilitarian nature of this borderland terrain. The map also delineates the high-latitude boundary between Oklahoma and Texas, along with the intersection of Cimarron and Dallam counties, making it a critical reference for understanding the precise geopolitical lines and sparse settlement patterns of this frontier region.
