2012 Map of Lake Sweetwater

About this map

Lake Sweetwater serves as the central focal point of this 2012 survey, its shorelines carved by Firemans Point and framed by surrounding ranchlands and rugged Texas terrain. The landscape is defined by its drainages, where Sweetwater Creek, Bitter Creek, and Kildoogan Creek cut through the high ground. Local history is anchored by the Garden of Memories Cem in the north and the Coffee Cem near the lake, providing valuable reference points for genealogists. The map also reveals the region's aviation and ranching character through the presence of private airstrips like Gesin Ranches Airport and Rafter P Airport. To the south, the topography rises significantly at Cottonwood Mountain, overlooking a network of rural routes including Ranch Road 1856 and Bittercreek Rd.
