1967 Map of North Windmill

About this map

Wolf Flat dominates the northwestern portion of this 1967 survey, where the level terrain of the High Plains begins its descent into the broken canyonlands of the Wind River and Turkey Creek systems. This landscape is defined by the vital necessity of water in an arid ranching environment, evidenced by the proliferation of named water sources across the plains. These landmarks, often bearing family or local names like Groves Windmill, Reese Windmill, and Miller Windmill, served as essential hubs for cattle operations and local navigation.
