2010 Map of Pitchfork Ranch

About this map

Pitchfork Ranch anchors this landscape in King County, where a complex network of water sources and named landmarks defines the ranching culture of West Texas. The South Wichita River and its tributary Geneva Fork cut through the northern portion of the map, while drainage features like Davidson Canyon and Hanna Draw shape the southern terrain. This 2010 survey highlights a sophisticated infrastructure of named windmills, which serve as vital landmarks for both navigation and livestock management across the vast acreage. From the Corner Windmill in the northeast to the Humble Windmill in the southwest, these features, alongside sites like Flakemoore and Devils Playground Windmill, reflect the generational importance of water management in this arid region. The presence of these specific family and location-named wells offers significant value for researchers tracing land usage and legacy ranch boundaries.
