2022 Map of Big Lake SE

About this map

The high plateau of the Edwards Plateau region is defined here by the meeting of three West Texas counties: Reagan, Irion, and Crockett. The landscape is dominated by seasonal drainage networks, most notably Tepee Draw and East Fork Howard Draw, which carve subtle relief into the arid terrain. This 2022 survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching environment where large landholdings are connected by a network of local roads such as Ranch House Rd and Ferguson Ln. The absence of dense settlements highlights the vastness of the region's cattle and sheep country, where the most significant markers of human activity are named lanes like Elkins Rd and the prominent Howard Draw. These topographic features remain central to the geography of this portion of the Texas Permian Basin.
