2010 Map of Wingate

About this map

Wingate and Pumphrey anchor this portion of Runnels County, illustrating a landscape defined by ranching and agricultural water management. The area is crisscrossed by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes, connecting scattered homesteads to local centers. Water control is a primary feature of the terrain, evidenced by the Soil Conservation Service Site 16 Reservoir and the Mitchell Dam on Mitchell Lake. These man-made features supplement the natural drainage provided by Valley Creek and Big Coyote Creek. For those researching local heritage, the Pumphrey Cemetery stands as a focal point for genealogical study. The map depicts a late 20th-century transition where traditional land use meets modern conservation efforts, preserving the rural character of this West Texas region.
