2016 Map of Big Lake SE

About this map

East Fork Howard Draw and Howard Draw define the drainage patterns across this high plains landscape on the border of Reagan, Irion, and Crockett counties. The map reflects a classic West Texas ranching geography, where wide-spaced local routes like Ranch House Rd and Ferguson Ln provide access to the vast intervals between watercourses. In this arid environment, naming conventions for features like Tepee Draw hint at the cultural and physical history of the terrain. The presence of numbered county roads, including Co Rd 205 and Co Rd 311, indicates the persistent grid of rural infrastructure that supports the region's cattle and oil interests into the early 21st century.
