About this map

The northern reaches of Lake Kemp define the lower margin of this North Texas survey, where the waters meet the winding drainages of Fish Cr and Indian Cr. This landscape is primarily shaped by the complex hydrology of the Waggoner Ranch area, featuring a series of numbered catchments including Waggoner Lake Number 1, Waggoner Lake Number 2, and Waggoner Lake Number 4. These water management features reflect the region's long-standing cattle ranching heritage and the necessity of surface water storage in the rolling plains.

Stretching across the boundary of Wilbarger Co and Baylor Co, the terrain is etched with numerous seasonal tributaries such as Beaver Cr, Buck Cr, and W Coffee Cr. The presence of Lost Lake and the dense network of named creeks illustrate the intricate drainage patterns that feed into the larger reservoir system, revealing the remote and managed character of this ranchland territory during the early 21st century.
