2019 Map of Y Ranch

About this map

The North Wichita River meanders across this landscape on the border of Cottle and Foard counties, carving a complex network of drainage basins. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated ranching region defined by the presence of the Y Ranch, a central landmark in this portion of North Texas. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes where Cottonwood Cr and E Cottonwood Cr feed into the primary river system. A modest network of rural infrastructure supports the area, including Mcadams Rd, Ranch Rd 1038, and FM 1038. This map serves as a detailed record of land use and hydrology at the end of the second decade of the 2010s, showing the specific road placements and water courses that define the local geography in this part of the Rolling Plains.
