2012 Map of Deep Lake

About this map

Deep Lake and the drainage of N McClellan Cr define this pocket of Gray County, characterized by a sprawling network of ranch roads and remote landholdings. In the early 21st century, the landscape remains a testament to the enduring cattle-ranching culture of the Texas Panhandle, anchored by the Taylor Rnch. The map reveals a grid of rural infrastructure where thoroughfares like Deep Lake Rd and Ranch Road 2477 connect isolated residential and agricultural sites such as Ritter, Ragsdale, and Wills. Notable topography includes the winding path of Crooked Canyon Rd, which traces the natural contours of the local breaks. This survey captures a moment of modern rural life, documenting the specific naming conventions of local families on landmarks like Ford Thomas and Mackie Rd.
