About this map

Lake Stamford dominates the terrain of Haskell County, serving as a critical water resource and infrastructure hub for the surrounding Texas plains. The map illustrates a landscape defined by the convergence of Horse Creek, Paint Creek, and California Creek, which feed into the reservoir. Industrial and utility infrastructure is prominently marked, including a Powerplant with its associated Powerplant Outlet, a Pumping Sta, and an Aqueduct system that underscores the region's managed water economy in the mid-1960s.

The Stamford Corporate Boundary extends into the eastern shore of the lake, encompassing recreational spots like a Picnic Area and Scott Crossing. Resource extraction is also evident across the landscape, indicated by numerous Drill Hole locations and an Oil Well to the northwest. This survey provides a clear view of the rural-industrial interface, showing how water management and energy production were integrated into the natural drainage basins of the Texas Rolling Plains.
