2010 Map of Moss Creek Lake

About this map

Otis Chalk anchors the southeastern corner of this West Texas landscape, a region defined by its managed water resources and distinct topographic breaks. The topography is dominated by the Signal Mountains, with the prominent Signal Peak rising as a primary landmark above the surrounding plains. The local hydrology is heavily engineered, featuring several significant impoundments including Moss Creek Lake, Powell Lake, and Garrett Lake, each supported by their respective dams. These reservoirs capture seasonal flow from a complex network of waterways like Beals Creek, Chimney Creek, and Devils Creek. The presence of E Moss Lake Rd and Martin Pitt Rd provides a look at the rural transportation infrastructure used to access these water sites and the surrounding cattle or oil country. This 2010 survey illustrates the balance between the arid landscape of the South Prong Moss Creek and the critical infrastructure required to sustain the local community.
