2012 Map of Dewey Lake NE

About this map

The arid ranching country of Glasscock County is defined here by its essential water infrastructure and a network of named county and private roads. Named landmarks across the landscape include the Sand Windmill, Shell Windmill, and Salt Lake Windmill, which reflect the historical importance of localized water sources in the West Texas plains. The terrain is sparsely settled, characterized by large parcels accessible via routes such as Hillger Rd and Co Rd 430. In the eastern portion of the map, the ephemeral drainage of the W Fork Apple Cr cuts through the landscape, providing a natural contrast to the geometric grid of private ranch roads. This detailed survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the functional geography of the region, from the Crows Nest Windmill in the northwest to the South Windmill, illustrating the enduring patterns of land use and resource management in this part of Texas.
