1971 Map of Skellytown NE

About this map

The high plains of the Texas Panhandle in Roberts and Hutchinson Counties are defined by the deep incisions of White Deer Creek and Reynolds Creek. In 1971, this landscape was dominated by cattle ranching and early energy development, as evidenced by the sprawling Price Ranch and Hayhook Ranch. The map reveals the intricate network of ranch infrastructure necessary for survival in this arid environment, from isolated outposts like West Camp to numerous water sources including Springs, a Well, and specialized windmills such as the Jog Section Windmill and Southeast Windmill.
