2010 Map of Pecks Lake

About this map

Pecks Lake and the drainage of Johnson Draw define this portion of the Texas landscape, where water management is the primary driver of settlement. The map is notably densely populated by named windmills, reflecting a livestock-driven economy and the necessity of groundwater in this arid region. From the evocatively named Last Chance Windmill and Hi Lonesome Windmill to family-named landmarks like Shackleford Windmill and Weatherd Windmill, these features indicate a sprawling network of ranching infrastructure.
