1950 Map of Lake Colorado City

About this map

Lake Colorado City dominates this West Texas landscape, a man-made reservoir fed by a Canal and protected by an Emergency Spillway. The presence of a Power Plant at the lakeside indicates the industrial utility of the water supply in the post-war era. To the south and west, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Morgan Creek, Camp Creek, and Wildhorse Creek, which all feed toward the Colorado River as it loops through Horseshoe Bend.
