2012 Map of Lusk

About this map

The Woodson Oil Field and the small settlement of Lusk define this corner of Throckmorton County, where energy extraction meets traditional Texas ranching country. The landscape is deeply carved by the meandering Clear Fork river and its many tributaries, including Givens Cr and Buck Br, which create a complex drainage pattern through the lowlands. In the eastern reaches, the Lester Clark Reservoir provides a critical water source in an area otherwise dominated by seasonal creeks and intermittent streams like Kings Cr. A grid of county roads, such as Hughes Rd and Dickie Rd, connects isolated homesteads and drilling sites, reflecting the late 20th and early 21st-century rural infrastructure of the Texas Rolling Plains.
