About this map

The Tee Pee City (Site), marked here with a Historical Marker, represents a fleeting moment of settlement in the Texas Panhandle. Located near the confluence of Tee Pee Creek and the Middle Pease River, this site was once a bustling supply point for buffalo hunters and early ranchers. By the time of this mid-century survey, the landscape had transitioned into a expansive ranching and conservation territory, including the southern portion of the Matador Wildlife Management Area.

A network of family-named water sources and windmills, such as Dave Harris Windmill and the Schweitzer Windmill, illustrates the vital infrastructure required to sustain life and livestock in this arid environment. The southern edge of the map features the Quanah Acme and Pacific railroad line following the valley of the Tongue River, while landmarks like Bull Pasture Hill and the Red Hills break the horizon between the winding creek beds.
