2016 Map of Lake Diversion

About this map

The expansive Lake Diversion dominates this landscape where the boundaries of Wichita, Wilbarger, Archer, and Baylor counties meet. This 2016 survey highlights the significant water management and ranching infrastructure of North Texas, particularly within the historic Waggoner Ranch lands. Water features like Waggoner Ranch Lake Number 4 and Waggoner Ranch Lake Number 5 sit north of the main reservoir, while the Wichita River feeds into and out of the lake's eastern reaches. The map reveals a network of rural routes and ranch access ways, including the uniquely named Easter Sunday Rd and Toll Gate Rd, alongside more established corridors like FM 1180 and FM 2846. Local drainage is defined by several seasonal streams such as Blackberry Cr and Sadler Cr, which carve through the surrounding plains and feed the central basin.
