2010 Map of Young Ranch

About this map

Washita River meanders across this Panhandle landscape, where the primary footprint of human activity is defined by large-scale ranching and mid-century water management projects. Named properties such as Young Ranch and Arrington Ranch anchor the local history of the region, while the Gas Plant in the northwest corner points to the industrial energy interests typical of Hemphill County. The map is heavily marked by a series of infrastructure projects from the Soil Conservation Service, featuring seven distinct reservoirs and dams, including Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Dam. These structures represent a concerted effort to manage the drainages of White Creek and the river valley. A network of rural routes, including FM 1268 and various county roads like Co RD Z, provide the essential links between these sprawling Texas holdings.
