About this map

The Texas A and M Experimental Ranch Lake and its associated dam stand as central features in this rural Throckmorton County landscape. The region is defined by a sparse but organized network of ranching and resource extraction roads, including Spade Ranch Rd and McWhorter Rd. Water management and energy production are the primary economic signatures visible on the land, evidenced by the Travis Oil Field and numerous named water bodies like Timmons Lake and Patterson Lake Number 2. The terrain is drained by an intricate system of creeks, with Wagon Creek in the north and the converging branches of North Boggy Creek and South Boggy Creek toward the south. This survey illustrates the modern ranching infrastructure of North Texas, where large-scale experimental agricultural tracts and oil interests dictate the local geography.
