2010 Map of Mustang Lake

About this map

Mustang Lake sits within a wide agricultural landscape in Deaf Smith County, defined by a rigid grid of county roads and intermittent watercourses. The 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a sparsely populated region where the environment is heavily structured by the section lines of the Texas Panhandle. Crossing the northern portion of the quadrangle, Palo Duro Creek winds through the terrain, providing a natural break in the geometric layout of routes like Co Rd 16 and Co Rd TT. This map serves as an important record of land use and water resources, showing the relationship between small playa lakes and the extensive network of rural infrastructure including Co Rd 10 and Co Rd V.
