About this map

Lake Colorado City dominates this West Texas landscape, formed by the Lake Colorado City Dam along the Colorado River. The surrounding terrain is defined by a network of ranch roads and water management features essential to this arid region. Significant local water sources include River Ranch Tank, Rattlesnake Tank, and the uniquely named Five Hundred Pasture Tank. These tanks and dams indicate a long history of cattle ranching and land use tailored to the environment.

Spade Cemetery serves as a key genealogical landmark in the southern portion of the map, situated near Granger Creek. The drainage patterns of Wildhorse Creek and Jayhawk Creek highlight the natural hydrology that local landowners have worked with for generations. This survey provides a clear look at the infrastructure of the area at the beginning of the 21st century, from the primary reservoir to the rural ranching outposts.
