About this map

Electra serves as the primary hub on this North Texas prairie, where the local street grid fans out north of the major transportation corridor following the Hwy 287 Access Rd. The landscape is defined by the ranching and resource management of the region, anchored by significant water features like Waggoner Estate Lake Number 1 and Waggoner Ranch Lake Number 7. These man-made reservoirs, along with various creek systems such as China Cr and Buffalo Cr, reflect the vital importance of water storage in this part of Wichita County.

Local history is etched into the landscape through the Mount Carmel Cem and a network of county roads like Co Rd 136 E and Co Line Rd N that mark the boundary between Wilbarger and Wichita counties. The map details the transition from the town’s residential core to industrial developments like the Industrial Park, all while showing the drainage patterns of the W Fork Sunflower Cr and the forks of Bluff Creek that navigate the terrain.
