2010 Map of Pitchfork Flats

About this map

Pitchfork Flats characterizes this stretch of King County, where the ranching infrastructure of West Texas is documented through a dense network of water features. Named for the local terrain, this area is defined by its reliance on windmills for livestock, such as Krit Windmill, E Vat Windmill, and Owens Windmill. The landscape is carved by several major watercourses, including the South Wichita River and North Croton Creek, which are fed by numerous canyons like Lynn Canyon and Wall Canyon. High points such as Dog Town Mountain and Cedar Point provide landmarks across the flats, while the Texas No Name Number 20 Dam represents modern water management in this arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the rural road network, with routes like Co RD 415 and Co RD 111 connecting isolated ranching outposts.
