About this map

Lake Electra and the sprawling ranching operations of Wilbarger County define this landscape, where water management is central to the local economy. The map details the intricate hydrography of the region, featuring Beaver Cr, Minnas Cr, and various man-made reservoirs including Waggoner Ranch Lake Number 2 and Waggoner Ranch Lake Number 3. These water sources, along with features like Hegralle Tank and Peach Orchard Tank, serve the livestock industry evidenced by the presence of Red Pasture Pens, Thaxton Pens, and Kite Pens.

Evidence of historical transit and geographic landmarks can be traced through the crossing at Craig Bridge and the distinct elevation of Twin Peaks in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The road network, including FM-1811 and Booster Station Rd, connects these remote ranching outposts, while smaller waterways like Rock Cr and Camp Cr feed into the larger basins that have sustained this part of North Texas for generations.
