2019 Map of Wells Ranch

About this map

The high plains of the Texas Panhandle are defined here by the crossing of the Dallam Co Hartley Co line, where the landscape transitions from flat tablelands to the winding drainage of Carrizo Cr. This 2019 survey captures the modern ranching infrastructure of the region, anchored by the named Wells Ranch in the southeast. A sparse but essential network of roads, including Fm 1727 and Fm 3110, connects the remote homesteads and cattle operations across the rugged breaks. The naming of local thoroughfares like Telephone Rd and Richards Ln suggests a long history of family-held parcels and early communication lines in this expansive territory. The topographic contours reveal the subtle but significant elevation changes as the land falls away toward the creek bed, a critical water source in this semi-arid environment.
