2016 Map of Gooch Lake

About this map

Gooch Lake and the neighboring Saleh Lake anchor this High Plains landscape, where the shallow depressions of ephemeral basins dictate the local topography across the border of Lynn and Dawson Counties. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and rural thoroughfares, reflecting the systematic agricultural development typical of West Texas. In the western portion of the sheet, the settlement of Grandview serves as a navigational point along Ranch Rd 179, while an intricate network of county roads, including Co Rd 36 and Co Rd 10, connects the scattered farmsteads and ranches. Long arterial routes like Ranch Rd 1066 and FM 2053 cut across the geometric land parcels, illustrating the connectivity required for the region's vast farming and ranching operations during the early twenty-first century.
