2019 Map of Spencer Lake

About this map

Spencer Lake sits amidst a deeply dissected landscape along the high plains of the Texas Panhandle, marking a transition between the elevated rangelands and the river drainage systems below. This 2019 survey captures the intricate network of watercourses that define the region, including the headwaters of Gyp Cr and Little Gyp Cr, which carve through the terrain toward the Salt Fork Red River in the south. The area is defined by its rural connectivity, with Ranch Rd 2695 and FM 3143 providing the primary transit corridors across the county line between Donley and Collingsworth. Other notable drainages such as Whitefish Cr and Skillet Cr further illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of this part of the state, where seasonal water flow has historically dictated land use and road placement.
