2019 Map of Mound Lake

About this map

Mound Lake dominates the upper-left quadrant of this High Plains landscape, straddling the county line between Terry Co and Lynn Co. The surrounding terrain is characterized by a grid of rural roads and scattered depressions, typical of the Llano Estacado's playa lake systems. The small community of West Point serves as a central landmark in the eastern portion of the sheet, situated along the junction of F M 179 and Co Rd 440. Further south, the topographical signature of Lost Draw cuts across the southwestern corner, indicating the ancient drainage patterns that have shaped this agricultural region. This survey captures the sparse but organized settlement pattern of West Texas, where life and transit are defined by the intersection of state-maintained farm roads and the ephemeral nature of local water basins.
