2019 Map of Lariat NE

Ephemeral playa lakes are scattered throughout the quadrangle, appearing as small, isolated depressions between the intersections of roads like Fm 145 and Fm 3333. These natural catchments contrast with the man-made infrastructure, illustrating the way the High Plains terrain has been surveyed and partitioned for ranching and farming. The map serves as a clear record of land management and drainage patterns in this portion of the Texas Panhandle during the early twenty-first century.
