About this map

Tee Pee City remains as a memory on the landscape, marked by a Historical Marker, a Grave, and scattered Ruins near the confluence of Tee Pee Creek and the Middle Pease River. This 1960s survey documents a rugged ranching environment where life centered around water management, evidenced by the numerous windmills like Schweitzer Windmill and Dave Harris Windmill that dot the terrain. The presence of the Old Headquarters Tank suggests the ranching operations that historically defined this part of the Rolling Plains.

In the southeast, the Tongue River cuts through the territory near the Quanah Acme and Pacific railroad line. Large portions of the eastern edge are preserved within the Matador Wildlife Management Area, showing the shift toward conservation. Topographical landmarks such as Bull Pasture Hill and the Red Hills rise above the drainage systems of Salt Creek and Cow Hollow Creek, while the county line between Motley and Cottle counties bisects the northeastern corner.
