2019 Map of Young Ranch

About this map

The Washita River winds through this section of the Texas Panhandle, defining a landscape marked by mid-century water management infrastructure. A series of reservoirs, including Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir, Soil Conservation Service Site 5 Reservoir, and Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir, demonstrate the intensive soil conservation efforts typical of this ranching region. The eponymous Young Ranch serves as a central landmark amidst a network of rural roads such as Co RD 6 and Co RD Z. In the southeastern corner, White Cr feeds into the local drainage system, while Fm 1268 provides the primary paved access across the southern reaches of the quadrangle. This map documents a modern ranching environment where historical land use and federal conservation projects have shaped the contemporary topography.
