2010 Map of Vega North

About this map

Vega anchors the southern edge of this High Plains landscape, situated along a busy transportation corridor where local routes like Co RD 34 and Co RD D meet. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern typical of the Texas Panhandle, with Middle Alamosa Creek winding through the western half and Billys Creek cutting through the center. These ephemeral watercourses are vital landmarks in an arid ranching environment, often punctuated by man-made infrastructure such as the Bradley Tank Dam and the associated Bradley Tank in the northwest corner. To the east, Milkweed Lake sits as a solitary basin among the grid of county roads, including Co RD 37 and Co RD 39. The map illustrates the structured intersection of industrial-scale agriculture and natural hydrology, where the vast open spaces are organized by a rigid network of secondary roads supporting the regional economy.
