About this map

The Colorado River carves a winding path through this West Texas landscape, where the waters of Lake Colorado City serve as a central anchor for the surrounding Mitchell County countryside. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the small settlement of Spade sits along the road network, located just west of the Spade Cem. This burial ground and the nearby ranching infrastructure, such as Five Hundred Pasture Tank and River Ranch Tank, speak to the enduring agricultural and livestock history of the region.

Dynamic terrain features are evident where the river creates a dramatic Horseshoe Bend to the southeast. Multiple drainage systems, including Wildhorse Cr, Camp Cr, and Morgan Cr, feed into the river basin. Recreational and utility access is highlighted by the Cactus Cut Trail and Roadrunner Loop Trail near the lake, while a network of county roads like Ranch Rd 2836 connects the dispersed homesteads and pasture lands of this high plains environment.
