About this map

The Middle Pease River cuts through this portion of Motley County, shaping a landscape defined by deep draws and isolated peaks. Water management is the central theme of this ranching country, evidenced by the numerous named water sources like Miller Springs Windmill, Stokes Windmill, and Bull Cod Windmill scattered across the terrain. These landmarks, along with Cedar Tank and Hawk Hill Tank, reflect the vital infrastructure required for cattle operations in the Texas Panhandle during the late 1960s.

The small settlement of Whiteflat sits on the eastern edge of the map near the Whiteflat Cem, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural area. Notable elevation markers like Boone Mtn, Connally Peak, and Antelope Hill rise above the drainage systems of Tom Handle Creek and Mott Creek. This survey also documents the industrial presence of a Pipeline and several Gravel Pits, alongside local infrastructure such as Lange Br over the river.
