Dallas,
Oklahoma sites might be a good comparision for you as well. The
Oklahoma SHPO has ranching contexts for OK Region 1 (Panhandle) Region
2 (North central), and Region 5,6,7 (Southern OK)
http://www.okhistory.org/shpo/histcons.htm
Also, check-out the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture:
http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia
There are many cross-referenced ranching entries, including the Miller
Bros 101 Ranch in the Cherokee Outlet.
