1968 Map of Pitchfork Flats

About this map

Deep ranching roots and water management define this landscape in King County during the late 1960s. The terrain is dominated by Pitchfork Flats and the sharp relief of Dog Town Mtn, where a series of deep canyons like Lynn Canyon and Wall Canyon cut through the high plains toward the South Wichita River. The map reveals a sophisticated network of upland water sources essential for cattle operations, evidenced by numerous named wells such as Krit Windmill, Owens Windmill, and Lynn Canyon Windmill.
