2016 Map of McKenzie Lake

About this map

McKenzie Lake sits at the center of this 2016 Gaines County landscape, a seasonal water body that characterizes the semi-arid High Plains of West Texas. The terrain is defined by low-relief drainage systems like McKenzie Draw and the localized Balch Springs in the northern reaches. This 21st-century survey illustrates a sparse but structured rural grid of county roads, such as Co Rd 104 and Co Rd 416, which provide access to this remote agricultural and ranching territory. The map is particularly useful for identifying the specific intersections and drainage patterns that define property boundaries in an area where natural landmarks are few. Numerous small, unnamed depressions and wetlands are scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting the complex hydrology of the Llano Estacado region.
