1973 Map of Windy Hill NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Carrizo Creek meanders through this high plains landscape of Dallam County, providing a rare watercourse in an area largely defined by intermittent drainage and agricultural infrastructure. The territory, surveyed in the early 1970s, is characterized by a sparse network of ranching landmarks and a significant number of groundwater extraction points. Named features like the Higgins Sandhill Windmill and the settlement of Knight offer specific points of interest for local historians tracking the development of these northwestern Texas ranchlands. The map reveals the persistence of early 20th-century land use patterns, where fence lines and isolated wells are the primary indicators of human presence across the undulating terrain. This USGS record preserves the rural character of the Panhandle before contemporary shifts in land management altered the traditional ranching grid.
