1967 Map of White Flat SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Water infrastructure defines the landscape of Chaves County in the late 1960s, where survival and ranching operations rely on a network of isolated wells and windmills. The drainage of Salt Creek and the deep cut of Chimney Canyon organize the terrain, which is dotted with remote outposts like Childress Ranch and Corn Ranch. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals the scattered locations of critical resources such as Partnership Windmill, Big Creek Windmill, and New Windmill. These specific points of interest illustrate how the cattle industry utilized even the most arid sections of the High Plains, with named landmarks like Koy Ranch and South Windmill serving as vital navigational and logistical hubs in a region otherwise characterized by sparse settlement and ephemeral water features.
