1971 Map of Torrey House

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Canadian River waters cut through the high plains of Oldham County, defining a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal drainages. During this early 1970s survey, the area was characterized by wide-ranging cattle ranching operations, marked by a network of essential water sources like Rita Blanca Tank, Blue Dam Tank, and numerous windmills such as the Coyote Windmill. The map captures the remnants of earlier habitation at the Torrey House (Ruins) and active outposts including Bird Farm Camp and Isabelle Camp. Significant landforms like Torrey Flats and Elephant Head stand above the drainage basins of Punta de Agua Creek and Los Redos Creek. These features, along with historic passage points like Hollicott Crossing, illustrate the enduring relationship between water access and settlement in the Texas Panhandle.
