About this map

Lake Meredith dominates this section of the Texas Panhandle, filling the valley where the Canadian River was impounded to create the reservoir within the Lake Meredith National Recreation Area. The landscape is defined by deep incisions in the high plains, including Bugbee Canyon, North Canyon, and Spring Canyon. These canyons and the fingers of the lake create a complex shoreline that separates the primary residential centers of Sanford and Fritch.

Street-level detail reveals the planned growth of communities like Lake Meredith Estates and the established grid of Fritch south of the Canadian River valley. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Sanford Cem near the town center or Westlawn Memorial Park on the southern edge of the quadrangle. The map also traces the modern transport network, from Fritch Fortress Hwy to local names like Phillips Camp Rd, reflecting the area's industrial and recreational utility.
