1985 Map of Lake Kemp

About this map

The Brazos River and the winding course of the North Wichita River dominate this mid-1980s look at the rolling plains of North Texas. Large-scale water management is a defining characteristic of the landscape, centered on the sprawling Lake Kemp and the smaller Lake Davis and Santa Rosa Lake. The map details a region where the agricultural economy is tied closely to the river systems and the transportation corridors provided by the Burlington Northern and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads.
