About this map

The West Texas oil industry and livestock ranching intersect in this detailed 2013 study of Reagan County. The town of Big Lake is the central hub, laid out on a grid that straddles the railroad corridor with thoroughfares like N Railroad St and S Railroad St. South of the residential core lies Glen Rest Cem, while the Reagan County Airport serves the regional aviation needs to the west.

The surrounding Permian Basin landscape is defined by extensive energy development and water features. The namesake Big Lake and Big Lake Draw dominate the southwest, providing a distinct geographic contrast to the geometric network of oil fields. Active extraction sites including the John Scott Oil Field, Price Northwest Oil Field, and Price Oil Field are connected by a web of local routes like Carr Ranch Rd and Boone Rd, illustrating the modern industrial footprint on this high plains terrain.
