2010 Map of Double Lakes

About this map

Double Lakes and Twin Lakes dominate this portion of the Texas South Plains, reflecting the vital role of ephemeral water sources in Lynn County’s ranching landscape. The terrain is defined by wide expanses such as Antelope Flats, where the distribution of water was historically managed through a network of strategically placed windmills. These named landmarks, including Eureka Windmill, Crows Nest Windmill, and HorsePasture Windmill, are essential markers for tracing property lines and grazing patterns of the early 21st century. The northern corner of the quadrangle is occupied by the T Bar Ranch, a significant local landholding. While rural roads like FM 1328 and FM 3112 provide a modern transportation framework, the map primarily captures the persistence of the ranching economy, where features like Stud Duck Tank and Little Gyp Windmill serve as the primary geographical anchors for residents and land managers.
