2022 Map of Welch East

About this map

The West Texas high plains of Dawson, Terry, and Lynn Counties intersect on this sheet, defined by a distinct network of section-line roads and seasonal drainage patterns. The community of Welch sits on the western edge, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and agricultural land. The landscape is marked by the presence of Frost Lake, a significant local basin that captures runoff from the ephemeral Lost Draw to the north. In the southern reaches of the quadrangle, Sulphur Springs Draw cuts through the terrain, illustrating the gradual topographic shifts characteristic of the Llano Estacado.
