2012 Map of Mound Lake

About this map

Mound Lake dominates the upper-left quadrant of this High Plains landscape, its irregular shoreline providing a stark contrast to the rigid, mile-spaced grid of the surrounding agricultural land. In the early 21st century, this section of Lynn County remains defined by its rural layout and the small settlement of West Point. The map illustrates a highly organized transport network of local routes, including Co Road A and Farm-To-Market Road 179, which facilitate the movement of goods in this ranching and farming region. Small depressions and playa-like features are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the unique hydrology of the Llano Estacado. Evidence of local infrastructure is found in landmarks like the North Windmills, which indicate the ongoing reliance on groundwater and wind energy in this part of West Texas.
