Description
One of several windmills of the Mallet Ranch, this one located near the Headquarters Court, dwarfed by the tree in the foreground and surrounded by overgrown grasses.The Mallet Ranch is a historic ranch in Hockley County, Texas located about 45 miles from the city of Lubbock (Lubbock County). The ranch was established by David M. DeVitt and John Scharbauer in Hockley County, Texas in 1885. It was used to raise Hereford cattle from the 1900s to the 1930s, with cotton fields added in the mid-1920s. By the late 1930s, oil was discovered. The ranch spanned 45,000 acres in 1990. (Except from Wikipedia). This image was captured in 2007. Due to neglect, the ranch structures are losing authenticity and integrity, difficult to replicate if deterioration continues. In 2008 Preservation Texas declared the historical site seriously endangered.
