2012 Map of Double Lakes

About this map

Double Lakes dominates this portion of Lynn County, where the High Plains landscape is defined by shallow basins and ranching infrastructure. This 2012 survey illustrates a classic West Texas water management system, centered on named windmills and small water features like Stud Duck Tank and Twin Lakes. The T Bar Ranch occupies the northeastern corner of the map, signaling the enduring presence of large-scale cattle operations in this region. This environment is structured by a grid of county roads, including Co RD-201 and Co RD E, which connect isolated water sources across the wide expanse of Antelope Flats. The sheer number of named landmarks—from the Eureka Windmill to the High Lonesome Windmill—reveals the vital importance of groundwater to the local economy and survival in this semi-arid terrain.
