2012 Map of Lake Olney

About this map

The town of Olney occupies the southeastern corner of this Young County landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranchlands and agricultural fields. This area is defined by a series of significant water management features, including the adjacent Lake Olney and Lake Cooper, as well as the more distant Megargel Cr Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with smaller bodies like Powell Lake and Furr Lake, support a network of creeks such as Bear Cr and Mesquite Cr that eventually feed into the S Fork Little Wichita River at the northern boundary. The terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive system of rural roads, many bearing family names like Darilek Rd, Benbritt Rd, and Wainscott Rd, which lead to local landmarks such as Saint Luke Cem. This layout reflects a modern Texas landscape where traditional ranching roots meet mid-century water infrastructure development.
