2012 Map of Torrey Peak

About this map

Torrey Peak rises above a landscape defined by an intricate network of ephemeral watercourses and vital ranching infrastructure in western Oldham County. The terrain is dominated by the seasonal drainages of Alamosa Cr, Billys Cr, and Ledger Cr, which carve through the high plains. Human presence is marked primarily by scattered windmills and water tanks essential for livestock management, such as the Lost Cabin Windmill, Espendiza Windmill, and Big Torrey Tank. To the south, The Cedar Brakes indicates a shift in vegetation and topography, supported by localized infrastructure like the Big Cedar Brake Windmill. The inclusion of Torrey Peak Camp and numerous named pastures, such as those served by the Middle Trap Windmill, provides a detailed look at the sprawling ranching operations that characterize this section of the Texas Panhandle in the early 21st century.
