2023 Map of Buffalo Springs Lake

About this map

Yellow House Canyon carves a dramatic path through the High Plains of West Texas, sheltering a network of reservoirs and springs southeast of Lubbock. This contemporary 2023 survey documents the recreational and residential development concentrated along the North Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River, where Buffalo Springs Lake and Lake Ransom Canyon provide a sharp contrast to the surrounding agricultural grid. The small settlements of Buffalo Springs and Ransom Canyon are established here, while the northern reaches of the map retain an open, rural character defined by section-line roads and scattered communities like Canyon and Roosevelt. Local hydrological features such as Arnett Lake and the specifically named Big Squeal Spring highlight the essential nature of water in this semi-arid landscape. The road network, including Pony Express Trl and Chuck Wagon, hints at the area's frontier-themed identity in the modern era.
