2016 Map of Deep Lake

About this map

The High Plains of the Texas Panhandle define this landscape in Gray County, where the hydrology of the North McClellan Creek system carves into the tableland. Isolated water bodies like Deep Lake and Wakefield Lake serve as vital landmarks in an area dominated by ranching and large-scale land management. The presence of the Taylor Ranch Hq and a network of named roads, including Couts Thomas Rd and McCracken Rd, illustrates the intersection of family-held territories and the public transit grid. The drainage pattern of N McClellan Cr creates significant relief in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, contrasting with the level agricultural and grazing lands found further west toward Ritter Rd. This 2016 survey documents the enduring pastoral infrastructure of the region through its carefully marked farm-to-market routes and ranch headquarters.
