1968 Map of Y Ranch

About this map

The North Wichita River meanders through the breaks of the Rolling Plains in this 1968 survey of the ranching country along the border of Cottle Co and Foard Co. The landscape is dominated by the namesake Y Ranch, illustrating the vast pastoral holdings typical of Northwest Texas during this era. Topographic details reveal a network of seasonal drainages, including Cottonwood Creek and Coon Creek, which carve through the terrain toward the river valley.
