2010 Map of Windthorst

About this map

Windthorst and its surrounding ranchlands are detailed in this 2010 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by North Texas energy production and cattle operations. The map documents numerous petroleum sites including the Scaling Oil Field and the Archer County Regular Oil Field, which punctuate the countryside alongside family-named farm roads. This area is drained by the meandering courses of West Little Post Oak Creek and East Little Post Oak Creek, with water managed at Vieth Lake and the larger Windthorst Lake to the east. Local heritage is centered around Saint Mary Cemetery, while large-scale landholdings like the Bridwell Ranch at the southwestern corner highlight the region's enduring agricultural identity. The grid of rural routes such as Veitenheimer Rd and Munchrath Rd reveals a community where property lines and transport networks have long been intertwined with family history.
