The Land of the Waggoner Ranch

Terrain The terrain of the ranch varies from fairly level to rolling and sometimes broken. Several major creeks and rivers run through the ranch. Approximately 30,000 acres are currently in cultivation, and many thousands of additional acres are suitable to be farmed. Mesquite is the principal invader in this part of Texas. Much brush work has been done, and the mesquite canopy is nearly extinct to moderate on portions of the ranch, while other areas have substantial regrowth. Hackberry and soapberry trees are common in the creek bottoms and cedar is predominately found in the rougher broken areas of the ranch. Water The ranch is principally watered by live creeks, large earthen ponds and pivots. Several huge lakes are located on the ranch. These lakes typically cover from over 1,000 surface acres to as much as 16,000 surface acres each. Access The Waggoner Ranch is accessed by paved highways, graded county roads and an extensive network of private ranch roads.
