1963 Map of Y O Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Y O Ranch headquarters and surrounding hill country define this landscape, centered on the complex drainage of the Johnson Fork and Deer Park. This map reveals a specialized ranching economy dependent on a network of water sources, from the Shearing Barn Windmill to the Old Fred Pen Windmill. The terrain is marked by named summits like Gobblers Knob and isolated dwellings including the Needham House and Rincon Seco House. Modernization is evident in the mid-century additions, such as the Landing Strip and Gravel Pit, which supported the remote infrastructure of this vast Kerr County property. The distribution of numerous windmills, such as the Middle Needham Windmill and Cedar Windmill, illustrates the intensive management required to maintain livestock in this semiarid region of the Edwards Plateau.
