2016 Map of Salt Lake

About this map

Salt Lake sits at the northwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, marking a significant hydrologic feature in an otherwise arid expanse of Midland County. The terrain is defined by subtle drainage patterns, most notably Johnson Draw and Gray Well Draw, which cut through the landscape and suggest the movement of seasonal water toward Pecks Lake on the eastern boundary. This 2016 survey reveals a region primarily organized around ranching and oil-field infrastructure, with the rectilinear grid of county roads like S Co Rd 1160 and E Co Rd 190 providing the primary access through the open country. The contour lines indicate a gentle but persistent slope, illustrating the characteristic topography of the Permian Basin where drainage draws are the most prominent natural landmarks for local navigation and land management.
