2022 Map of Pritchard Ranch

About this map

Rita Blanca National Grassland dominates this section of the High Plains in Dallam County, where public land parcels are interspersed with private holdings. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Red Cow Draw, which carves through the shortgrass prairie. This 2022 survey captures a remote ranching territory at the very corner of the Texas Panhandle, structured by a sparse grid of rural roads named for local families and agricultural operations. The cartography illustrates how modern land management and cattle ranching coexist in this arid environment, with property access maintained via simple thoroughfares such as Pritchard Ln and Bowers Ln. The absence of dense settlement highlights the continuity of the region's ranching heritage, preserving the spatial patterns of the open range within the modern National Grassland system.
