1973 Map of Windy Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Windy Hill rises above the high plains of the Panhandle in this 1973 survey of the borderlands between Dallam Co and Hartley Co. The landscape is defined by the practical necessities of West Texas ranching, where a sparse network of dirt tracks like South Sedan Road connects isolated outposts. Private holdings such as the Bagot Ranch and Martin Ranch anchor the territory, while the survival of livestock is traced through a dense distribution of named water sources. From the Dipping Vat Well to the specialized Red White and Blue Camp Well, these features reveal the logistical infrastructure of mid-century cattle operations. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the distinctive Red White and Blue Sand Hills, a terrain variation that likely influenced the placement of the many windmills, such as the Steel Windmill, that dot the horizon.
