About this map

Lake Theo and its surrounding watershed define this portion of Briscoe County, where water management and ranching roads dominate the landscape. In this 2010 survey, the hydrology is remarkably complex for the Texas Panhandle, featuring a network of managed water bodies such as Luther Lake, Hawkins Lake, and the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir. These reservoirs sit along active drainage systems including Mexican Creek and the North Prong Little Red River.

Prominent landforms such as John Haynes Ridge, Eagles Point, and the distinct Old Flat Top provide significant elevation markers amidst the creek beds. The map details a transition from the higher plains down through the forks of the Little Red River, supported by an extensive network of rural routes like Ranch Rd 1065 and various county roads that connect the dispersed ranching infrastructure. This document is a clear record of modern conservation efforts and land use in the Rolling Plains region.
