2010 Map of Buffalo Springs Lake

About this map

Buffalo Springs and Ransom Canyon anchor this portion of the Texas South Plains, where the North Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River cuts a significant topographical break into the surrounding agricultural grid. This waterway is managed through a series of water control structures including the McMillan Dam and Lake Ransom Canyon Dam, which create recreational and residential reservoirs like Buffalo Springs Lake and Lake Ransom Canyon. Outside the immediate canyon environments, the landscape is defined by a rigorous section-line road network, including Acuff Rd and Posey Rd, servicing small clusters such as Roosevelt and the locality of Canyon. Small private water bodies like Arnett Lake and Clear Water Lake dot the area west of the primary canyon system, illustrating the importance of water management in this arid Lubbock County landscape.
