About this map

The expansive waters of Lake Kemp dominate the southern boundary of this Wilbarger County landscape, where the northern shoreline meets a complex system of drainage and ranching infrastructure. A series of private reservoirs, identified as Waggoner Lake Number 1, Number 2, Number 3, and Number 4, are situated along the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle. These impoundments, each with its own recorded dam, illustrate the significant water management necessary for livestock and agriculture in this part of North Texas.

Ephemeral streams including Indian Creek, Buck Creek, and West Coffee Creek carve through the terrain, leading toward the Indian Creek Pens in the south-central region. The northern reaches are defined by the winding paths of Beaver Creek and South Beaver Creek. This 2010 survey provides a clear look at the hydraulic layout of the Waggoner ranching country just before more modern digital mapping standards were fully implemented.
