2010 Map of Lake Stamford West

About this map

Lake Stamford dominates the eastern horizon of this West Texas landscape, where the waters of Paint Creek flow through a grid of rural ranch roads and agricultural tracts. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Mule Creek, Buffalo Creek, and Rice Springs Branch, which carve through the plains. The presence of the Haskell Oil Field in the northern portion of the quadrangle points to the region's long-standing reliance on petroleum extraction. Near the center of the survey, the small settlement of Paint Creek serves as a local hub, while the Howard Cemetery on Cemetary Rd provides a specific point of interest for those researching local family histories and early landholdings. This survey captures a rural Texas economy transitioning into the twenty-first century, balancing traditional ranching with established energy production near the lake's western shore.
