2019 Map of McKenzie Lake

About this map

McKenzie Lake sits as the central geographic feature of this West Texas landscape in Gaines County. The map details a semi-arid region characterized by ephemeral water sources and a structured grid of rural infrastructure. In the northern reaches, Balch Springs and the winding course of McKenzie Draw indicate the historical importance of water access in this high plains environment. The terrain is largely defined by a systematic network of section roads, such as Co Rd 104 and Co Rd 102, which facilitate movement across the agricultural and ranching parcels. This 2019 survey documents the modern layout of these rural corridors, illustrating how the late 20th and early 21st-century development has adhered to the traditional township and range divisions typical of the Llano Estacado region.
