About this map

Lake Scarborough and its associated Scarborough Dam anchor this rural Coleman County landscape, where water management defines the modern geography. The area is heavily marked by mid-century engineering efforts, including several detention ponds such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 25b Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 24 Reservoir. These structures, built to manage runoff across the Buck Hollow terrain, illustrate the region's transition from open range to a highly regulated hydraulic environment.

Industry and local drainage networks intersect throughout the quadrangle. In the northeast, the Amzak-Morris Oil Field points to the area's extraction history, while a complex system of seasonal waterways like Turtle Bayou, Jim Ned Creek, and Hog Creek create a dendritic pattern across the ranchlands. A network of county roads, including Co RD 466 and Co RD 150, provides access to these isolated reservoirs and oil operations.
