2012 Map of Lake Eddleman

About this map

Lake Eddleman serves as the focal point of this northern Young County landscape, situated just north of Graham where the water meets a network of local ranch roads and oil infrastructure. The terrain is defined by the persistent energy industry of North Texas, with the Graham Oil Field, James Oil Field, and Ligon Oil Field distributed across the prairie. The settlement of Red Top sits at a central crossroads, surrounded by a dense web of creeks including Briar Cr, Turtle Hole Cr, and Flint Cr. Family-named routes such as Bryan Farm Rd and Rutherford Rd suggest long-established landholdings, while specialized labels like Indian Mound Rd point to the area's deeper archaeological history. The map documents a landscape where agricultural ranching and petroleum extraction coexist alongside the recreational and utility infrastructure of the reservoir.
