2022 Map of Spencer Lake

About this map

Spencer Lake and the surrounding drainage basins define this portion of the Texas Panhandle near the border between Donley and Collingsworth Counties. The landscape is dominated by a dense network of seasonal creek beds, including Little Gyp Cr and Gyp Cr, which carve through the terrain before meeting the Salt Fork Red River in the southeast corner. Transportation through this rural ranching country is provided by several key routes such as Ranch Rd 2695 and Fm 3143, which navigate the elevation changes between the plains and the river valley. The map reveals the intricate natural topography of the eastern Panhandle, highlighting how waterways like Whitefish Cr and Skillet Cr have shaped the land use and road patterns in this sparsely settled region.
