2012 Map of Gooch Lake

About this map

Gooch Lake and Saleh Lake form the primary focal points of this High Plains landscape in Dawson County. The terrain is defined by a dense, rectilinear grid of rural roads, including Ranch Road 2053 and Fm-3112, which serve the agricultural plots and dispersed homesteads of the region. The small settlements of Hindman and Grandview anchor the southeast and northwest portions of the map, respectively, representing the local social and economic hubs for the surrounding ranchlands. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern configuration of South Plains transportation, where traditional county roads like Glider Rd and Woody Rd intersect with state-maintained routes such as Ranch Road 1066. The layout suggests a highly organized land use pattern typical of West Texas, where water features like the namesake lake remain critical landmarks amidst the expansive surveyor's grid.
