2022 Map of Mendota

About this map

The small settlement of Mendota sits in the valley of Red Deer Cr, a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the Texas Panhandle. This area of Hemphill County is characterized by the convergence of several waterways, including Simmons Cr and Major Cr, which have carved intricate terrain into the surrounding plains. The local infrastructure reflects the region's energy-driven economy, notably marked by a Gas Plant and a network of rural routes such as Arlington and Ranch Rd 3044. The layout of the roads follows both the natural contours of the creek beds and the rigid grid of section lines typical of West Texas ranching country. Mapping of Elk Cr in the east further illustrates the importance of water management and natural drainage in this semi-arid environment.
