2016 Map of Spencer Lake

About this map

Spencer Lake sits at the heart of this landscape along the border of Donley and Collingsworth Counties, where the high plains of the Texas Panhandle give way to a network of seasonal drainages. The topography is defined by the erosion of the Caprock, with deep-cut watercourses like Little Gyp Cr and Whitefish Cr carving through the terrain toward the southern boundary. This 2016 survey shows a territory primarily utilized for ranching and large-scale agriculture, connected by a sparse grid of rural infrastructure including Ranch Rd 2695 and FM 3143. The southern edge of the map is dominated by the wide, sandy bed of the Salt Fork Red River, a significant geographic marker for the region. Minor tributaries such as Skillet Cr, Gyp Cr, and Wills Cr reveal the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped this portion of the Texas frontier.
