2016 Map of Grayton Lake

About this map

Eagle Flat anchors this high-desert landscape in Hudspeth County, where a sparse network of roads and water tanks reveals the infrastructure of West Texas ranching. The terrain is defined by the prominent Love Hogback and the Red Hills to the south, while the ephemeral basin of Grayton Lake sits north near Blanca Draw. This 2016 survey illustrates the critical role of water management in a dry climate, naming numerous catchment points such as Malo Suerte Tank, Hackett Tank, and Triple Tanks. Transportation through this isolated corridor relies on routes like Green Gap Rd and Box Car Rd, which provide access between the various hills and seasonal draws that characterize this portion of the Trans-Pecos region.
