[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1620394, member: 25884"] Most in the east are called farms. Most farms had several different things like animals, crops, pasture for grazing. Farms were also known to have fences more often in the older accounts. Most places in the west and southern states like Texas, were considered ranches that basically only had grazing animals. Ranches were also thought of as much larger tracts of land that were not suited for plowing and growing of row crops. In the northeast, there are brooks and streams and rivers and ponds and lakes. Ponds and lakes can both be natural and man-made. Here in Va there are creeks instead of brooks or streams, ponds are mostly considered man made and lakes are either man or natural made. Tanks are mostly all man made material that contains water. I have often read that tanks in the west were also naturally occurring places where water would accumulate after rains, like in stone or rock formations. Often in desert settings you will read of the indians knowing of tanks where water can be found certain times of the year. [/QUOTE]
