2016 Map of Throckmorton

About this map

Throckmorton serves as the central hub of this North Texas landscape, where the town grid meets a network of ranch roads and watercourses. The local geography is defined by the drainage of Elm Cr and its various tributaries, including N Elm Cr and Horse Cr, which carve through the terrain south of Thacker Mtn. Significant water management is evident through several impoundments, most notably Lake Throckmorton and the Patterson Lake Number 1 and Patterson Lake Number 2 reservoirs to the northeast. These water features, alongside Brown Lake, illustrate the region's reliance on managed water resources for livestock and municipal use. Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the Throckmorton Municipal Airport and a series of farm-to-market roads like FM 2651 and N Minter Ave, which connect the remote ranchlands to the county seat.
