2012 Map of Lake June

About this map

Cataline Cem serves as a small but significant historical marker in this rural Hemphill County landscape, where the upper reaches of the Washita River and its various tributaries define the geography. The area is characterized by a sophisticated network of water management features, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 15 Reservoir and several other numbered sites designed for erosion control and water storage. These reservoirs, alongside Lake June and Lake Sharon, illustrate the mid-to-late 20th-century effort to stabilize the watershed of the Dry Fork Washita River and Gageby Cr. Local transport relies on a grid of rural routes such as Ranch Road 3303 and FM-277, which connect the scattered water bodies and agricultural lands in this part of the Texas Panhandle.
