1973 Map of Tovrea Ranch

About this map

Tovrea Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this high plains landscape of Dallam County, situated amidst the subtle drainage patterns of the Texas Panhandle. The topography is defined by the winding course of Rito Blanca Creek, which cuts through the undulating terrain in the southwestern portion of the map. This 1970s survey captures a rural environment where land use is dominated by large-scale ranching operations and industrial infrastructure, evidenced by the prominent Pipeline corridor that traverses the northern sections. The scarcity of named settlements highlights the isolated nature of these ranching outposts, where survival depended on the seasonal flows of local creek beds and the management of extensive open range.
