2022 Map of Grayton Lake

About this map

Grayton Lake and the surrounding Trans-Pecos desert landscape define this high-altitude basin in Hudspeth County. The terrain is a network of arid drainage patterns and water management features essential for ranching in this dry environment. To the north, the broad expanse of Eagle Flat is accessed by remote thoroughfares like Box Car Rd and Wilkins Rd. The topography rises sharply toward the south and east, where Little Hills and the prominent Love Hogback interrupt the plains. Cattle ranching history is etched into the landscape through numerous named water catchments, including Malo Suerte Tank, Hackett Tank, and Partition Tank. These features, along with the distinct Red Hills and Red Hills Arroyo, provide a clear picture of how land use and hydrology are intertwined in this corner of West Texas.
