1967 Map of Young Ranch

About this map

The Washita River winds through the northern portion of this landscape in Hemphill County, Texas, carving through the terrain alongside White Deer Creek. In the late 1960s, the area's economy and settlement patterns were defined by significant ranching operations and the emerging energy industry. Named landmarks like the Arrington Ranch and Young Ranch stand as clear markers of the region's agricultural history. This map reveals a high-plains landscape in transition, where traditional livestock ranching coexists with industrial development, indicated by numerous Gas Well sites and a major Pipeline cutting through the southwestern sector. Local topographic details like the feature labeled Female and a Water Tank near the northern boundary provide specific points of interest for those studying the physical and cultural history of the Panhandle.
