2010 Map of Edgemon Lake

About this map

Edgemon Lake and Emerson Lake anchor this portion of Briscoe County, revealing a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the Texas Panhandle. The topography is shaped by the winding course of Los Lingos Creek, which features the named Lingos Falls. These watercourses create a distinct series of breaks and depressions, including the notable Dark Canyon and Dobbs Hollow, which interrupt the surrounding high plains. The map illustrates a transitional environment where seasonal creeks like Turkey Creek and Hackberry Creek carve through the terrain. The road network is sparse, consisting primarily of county routes like Co RD 17 and Co RD 8, alongside FM 689, reflecting the agricultural and ranching character of this rural region. Small water sources such as Red Rock Spring point to the critical role of localized hydrology in an otherwise semi-arid environment.
