2019 Map of Ira SW

About this map

Lake J B Thomas dominates the northern half of this West Texas landscape, where the Colorado River is impounded at the convergence of Borden and Scurry counties. This 2019 survey illustrates the intricate shoreline and the network of county roads, such as Sourdough Rd and Daves, that provide access to the water's edge. The terrain south of the reservoir is defined by the drainage of Willow Cr and the presence of smaller bodies of water like Dunn Lake. The intersection of Howard, Mitchell, Scurry, and Borden counties creates a unique geopolitical corner near the center of the map. Tracing the path of Ranch Rd 1205 and Guffee Rd reveals the rural character of the region, showing how ranching and water management shape the local infrastructure in the modern era.
