2012 Map of Vat Camp

About this map

The Canadian River cuts through the northern reaches of this Oldham County landscape, anchoring a network of ephemeral creeks and vital watering points. In a region where water management is central to the cattle industry, numerous named landmarks such as the High Lonesome Windmill, West Dam Windmill, and Louis Windmill appear alongside larger catchments like the W Dam Tank. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern ranching infrastructure of the Texas Panhandle, including the namesake Vat Camp and the Coleman Cattle Company Nr 2 Airport. The terrain is further defined by natural water sources such as Charvez Spring, Dripping Springs, and the drainage of Trujillo Cr. These features, along with Agua de Piedra Cr and Las Arches Cr, highlight the historical and ongoing reliance on specific geographic points for livestock and aviation in this sparsely populated territory.
