2022 Map of Dry Lake

About this map

The Culberson Co / Reeves Co boundary line bisects this arid West Texas landscape, where the ephemeral waters of Dry Lake serve as the central topographic focal point. Drainage patterns are defined by the winding course of Cottonwood Cr, which cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle alongside intermittent watercourses like Dutch Draw. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is represented by a sparse network of ranching and connector routes, including Ranch Rd 2119 in the north and Brooks-Pecos Rd and Gresham Rd in the south. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes and gradual slopes, notably at Incline Draw, illustrating the isolated and utilitarian nature of the Trans-Pecos region where land use is primarily dictated by the availability of water and the accessibility of these few established roads.
