1971 Map of Mustang Lake

About this map

Mustang Lake sits as a prominent hydrological feature in this high plains landscape on the western edge of Deaf Smith County. The terrain is defined by dramatic contour changes leading down to the lake bed, contrasting with the relatively flat plateau that stretches toward the New Mexico State Line. This 1971 survey captures a sparsely populated section of the Texas Panhandle, where the land is primarily organized by a network of ranch roads and section lines. The map reveals the intricate topographic depressions and basins characteristic of the region, providing a detailed record of the natural drainage and elevation patterns before modern land use might have altered these local catchments.
