1973 Map of Wharton Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Fort Worth and Denver railroad cuts a diagonal path across this High Plains landscape, serving as a primary artery for the ranching operations of Dallam County in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by its water sources, with numerous named wells such as XIT Thirtysix Well, Badenhop Well, and Kendale Well scattered across the quadrangle. These features, along with Wharton Ranch in the southern portion of the sheet, underscore the importance of groundwater management in this semi-arid region. In the southwest corner, the landscape dips toward Carrizo Creek near Bunker Hill, providing a rare break in the plateau. The presence of Gravel Pit locations and a Radio Tower indicate the localized industrial and communications infrastructure supporting this rural cattle-raising territory.
