1964 Map of Oglesby Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Oglesby Ranch and its neighboring homesteads anchor this mid-1960s study of the Edwards Plateau ranching country. The landscape is defined by the high-plains divide where the Crockett Co Schleicher Co boundary runs north-to-south, intersecting a series of dry draws and seasonal drainage features like Dove Creek. This era of development is marked by industrial infrastructure cutting across the traditional grazing lands, specifically several Pipelines and a Pipeline that traverse the quadrangle from east to west. Local ranching families such as those at Brooks Ranch and Preston Ranch operated in a region where water and mineral access were critical, evidenced by the presence of a Drill Hole 2504 and multiple instances of a Gravel Pit. The map also notes an Indefinite Boundary, suggesting the shifting or unsurveyed nature of property lines in the open range of West Texas.
