1998 Map of Sand Hill

About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates the northeastern corner of this Union County landscape, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of the Canadian River basin. The terrain is defined by the carved paths of Carrizo Creek and Garcia Creek, which slice through the topography to create the prominent Cedar Hills and the namesake Sand Hill. This map reflects a ranching landscape reliant on groundwater, evidenced by a network of family-named or location-based landmarks such as Domingues Windmill, Means Windmill, and Sand Hill Windmill.
