2010 Map of Norton Lake

About this map

Perrin Brothers Farm and the namesake Norton Lake define this high plains landscape in Deaf Smith County during the first decade of the 21st century. The map illustrates a region characterized by a sparse, utilitarian network of section-line roads, including Co RD QQ, Co RD R, and Co RD 23, which connect isolated homesteads and agricultural interests. Water resources are central to the geography here, with ephemeral features like Red Windmill Lake and landmarks such as the Red Windmill indicating the importance of irrigation and livestock management. This survey provides a clear look at the rural land divisions and localized water features that sustained this portion of the Texas Panhandle prior to more recent digital updates.
