2012 Map of Overstreet Lake

About this map

Palo Duro Cr meanders across the southern half of this landscape, carving a subtle drainage through the High Plains of Deaf Smith County. The terrain is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and rural thoroughfares, including Fm1412 and Ranch Road 2587, which serve the agricultural interests of the region. Scattered throughout this geometric layout are several notable depressions and water bodies, most significantly Overstreet Lake and Schulte Lake, along with Grigsby Lake near the eastern margin. These features are characteristic of the playa lake systems found in the Texas Panhandle, providing vital seasonal hydrology in an otherwise semi-arid environment dominated by ranching and large-scale farming infrastructure.
