About this map

Red Bluff Reservoir dominates this West Texas landscape, straddling the boundary between Loving and Reeves counties. The damming of the Pecos River created this vital water source in an arid region characterized by extensive drainage systems like Skinner Draw and Tucker Draw. The settlement of Angeles sits west of the water, positioned along a network of county roads including Co RD 453.

Evidence of the area's geography is visible in landmarks such as East West Bluff and the curiously named Alcatraz terrain feature. Natural water sources like Red Bluff Springs and Allison Spring suggest the historical importance of the site before and after the reservoir's construction. The map also records the small community of Red Bluff near the southern spillway where the river continues its course as Salt Cr joins the flow.
