2016 Map of Mendota

About this map

Mendota serves as the focal point for this landscape in Hemphill County, where the high plains of the Texas Panhandle are cut by a complex drainage system. The settlement sits at the junction of several rural routes including Co Rd 4, while the surrounding terrain is defined by the ephemeral flows of Red Deer Cr, Simmons Cr, and the distinctive Washburn Arroyo. This 2016 survey illustrates the intersection of traditional ranching geography and modern energy infrastructure, specifically noting a Gas Plant in the southwestern quadrant. Further east, the topography shifts toward the depressions of Abraham Lake and the winding paths of Major Cr and Elk Cr. The map's detail provides a clear view of how local transportation, like Ranch Rd 3044, adapts to the area's natural creek beds and intermittent water features.
