About this map

Tecovas Creek and its many tributaries, including Pedrosa Creek and Daniel Creek, carve through this section of the Texas Panhandle during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by its ranching heritage, anchored by the expansive Fryingpan Ranch and Word Ranch. These cattle operations are supported by natural water sources like Tecovas Spring and the persistent Spring near the ranch headquarters.

Transportation and industry are represented by the Fort Worth and Denver railroad, which skirts the eastern portion of the terrain near the small settlement of Boden. High points such as Wolf Mountain, Goat Mountain, and Coyote Bluff provide orientation across the drainages. Scattered Gas Well locations and a Gravel Pit indicate the early extraction industry that shared this open range with traditional ranching.
