About this map

The North Wichita River winds across this section of Cottle County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent watercourses and ranching history. The eponymous Y Ranch serves as a primary landmark in a region characterized by expansive open range and a network of rural roads such as Ranch Rd 1038 and Co Rd 493. These routes connect isolated holdings and follow the natural drainage patterns of the terrain.

Drainage systems like Coon Hollow Creek and Cottonwood Creek feed into the river valley, illustrating the hydrologic character of this North Texas environment. This 2010 survey reflects the enduring rural structure of the area, where the spatial organization is dictated more by the requirements of the cattle industry and the availability of water than by urban development. It provides a clear record of land use and property access in the early 21st century.
