2016 Map of Oklahoma Flat

About this map

Yellow Lake and Illusion Lake sit at the heart of this high plains landscape, illustrating the ephemeral water patterns typical of the Llano Estacado. The terrain is defined by significant drainage features including Bull Draw, Goat Draw, and the prominent Yellow House Draw in the south. This 2016 survey captures the rural character of the border between Lamb and Hockley counties, where the small settlement of Oklahoma Flat is surrounded by a grid of named local roads such as Cheyenne Rd, Boston Rd, and Poland. The distribution of water resources is critical here, marked by numerous cattle tanks including Rattlesnake Tank, Grapevine Tank, and South Pasture Tank, which point to the area's ongoing agricultural and ranching legacy.
