1968 Map of Pitchfork Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Pitchfork Ranch anchors this West Texas landscape along the South Wichita River, revealing a ranching economy defined by its network of water infrastructure. In the late 1960s, the terrain across the Dickens County and King County line is remarkably sparse, with development limited to family-named landmarks and essential livestock wells. The map documents a rugged drainage system where Davidson Canyon and Water Canyon feed into the river valley, while Croton Creek and Salt Creek carve through the southern reaches. This survey is particularly useful for identifying specific ranching outposts like West Presley Windmill and James Hodge Windmill. The presence of the Radio Tower and numerous "Drill Hole" sites indicates the intersection of traditional land use with modern communications and resource exploration in this rolling prairie environment.
