About this map

White River Lake dominates the upper reaches of this West Texas landscape, formed by the impoundment of the White River. The area is defined by a sparse but deliberate network of ranch and county roads that navigate the drainage systems of Davidson Cr and Home Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure of Garza County, where long-established routes like Wagon Rd and Snuff Rd provide access to the canyon-cut terrain around the reservoir.

Local landmarks such as Smith Tank and various named trails, including Comanche Trl and Pineywoods, speak to the region's ranching heritage and the importance of water management in an arid environment. The map details a transition from the structured reservoir area to the open draws and creeks to the south, marked by the confluence of numerous unnamed seasonal watercourses feeding the primary river system.
