2016 Map of Ira SW

About this map

Lake J B Thomas dominates this West Texas landscape, where the Colorado River is impounded at the intersection of Borden, Scurry, Howard, and Mitchell counties. This 2016 survey illustrates the extensive road network serving the ranching and energy-producing lands surrounding the reservoir, including Sourdough Rd and Guffee Rd. The topography is defined by the winding drainages of Willow Cr as they feed into the primary basin. The map captures the interface between the sprawling water body and the rural infrastructure of the Permian Basin region, showing the transition from upland plains to the river breaks. To the southeast, Dunn Lake sits near the junction of FM 1298 and Ranch Rd 1298, marking a pocket of lower elevation amidst the ranchlands and county lines.
