About this map

Lake Kemp dominates the landscape of this portion of Wilbarger County, its complex shoreline defined by numerous inlets and coves that reach into the surrounding Texas plains. The water level at this time reveals landforms like Goat Island and Rattlesnake Island, while the northern reaches of the lake are fed by a network of drainage creeks including Whiskey Cr, Cattle Cr, and Flippin Cr. To the northwest, the Coffee Creek Cow Camp and its adjacent Coffee Cr Cow Camp Lake mark the legacy of ranching in the region.

Residential and recreational developments are clustered along the northeastern shore, indicated by a series of named roads and coves such as Waggoner CV, Memphis Cove Rd, and Black Bass Rd. The Wichita River emerges from the southeastern corner of the lake, cutting through the terrain near Hotel Rd. This survey provides a clear view of the balance between the natural flow of the river system and the man-made infrastructure designed for access to the reservoir.
