2016 Map of Lora

About this map

The Washita River headwaters and the drainage of Red Deer Creek define this high plains landscape on the border of Roberts and Hemphill counties. During the mid-2010s, the small settlement of Lora sat along the northern rail corridor, which serves as a primary transit artery through the dissected canyon terrain. The local geography is marked by significant water management features, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and Gill Lake, which support the regional ranching and conservation efforts. Aviation infrastructure is anchored by the Miami-Roberts County Airport, while an extensive network of rural roads like Locke Rd and Ranch Rd 3367 provides access to the interior rangelands. The terrain demonstrates the sharp contrast between the flat upland mesas and the eroded river valleys typical of the Texas Panhandle.
