About this map

Lake Theo and its immediate surroundings in the Texas Panhandle define this landscape, where the broken terrain of the Llano Estacado meets the erosion-carved canyons of the Red River system. The map documents the intricate drainage of the N Prong Little Red River and S Prong Little Red River, which converge to form the Little Red River. Topographical features such as John Haynes Ridge and Eagles Point provide significant vertical relief, while Old Flat Top stands as a prominent landmark in the southwestern portion of the quadrangle.

Water management and conservation are central to the area's geography, evidenced by features like the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir, Luther Lake, and Hawkins Lake. Part of Caprock Canyons State Park is visible on the eastern edge, showing the protected lands that characterize this part of Briscoe County. The map provides a detailed view of the local road network, including Ranch Road 1065, which serves the scattered water sources like Gyp Springs and Ladder Tank.
