The Comanche and other Indians no doubt crisscrossed present-day Hartley County in their far-reaching travels. Rita Blanca Creek provided a natural route to follow.

The Santa Fe trail lay to the north, stretching from Missouri to Santa Fe and cutting across the present-day panhandle of Oklahoma. For Indians who raided the Santa Fe Trail from the south, Rita Blanca Creek was a natural route up to the trail and back.

The XIT Ranch, before it was the XIT, was at the heart of the vast Comanche territory called Comancheria.
