2016 Map of Lake June

About this map

The Washita River and its various tributaries define this section of the Texas Panhandle in Hemphill County. Water management is a central theme of the landscape, illustrated by numerous numbered reservoirs such as Soil Conservation Service Site 13 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 25 Reservoir. These man-made features support a region characterized by ranching and rural infrastructure, where local life is tied to the movement of water through Gageby Cr and the Dry Fork Washita River. Cultural landmarks provide essential touchstones for family historians, including the Elam Cemetery located near the center of the quadrangle and Cataline Cem further east. The map also records localized place names like Jeff Puryear, reflecting the personal history of land ownership in this part of the state.
