2022 Map of Lake Scarborough

About this map

Lake Scarborough anchors the southern portion of this landscape in Coleman County, where the hydrology is defined by a series of modern water management efforts. The terrain is characterized by numerous small drainages and larger named waterways like Turtle Bayou and Jim Ned Cr, which flow through a network of rural county roads. Several reservoirs, including Soil Conservation Service Site 25b Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 24 Reservoir, indicate the region's reliance on managed water resources for agriculture and flood control. The presence of Buck Hollow Bayou and Buck Hollow suggests the natural relief that channels seasonal runoff toward the primary creek beds. This 2022 survey provides a contemporary view of the land use patterns and rural infrastructure that sustain this Central Texas ranching and farming area.
