2016 Map of Sand Lake

About this map

The winding course of the Pecos River forms the eastern boundary of this West Texas landscape, where the border between Reeves and Ward counties follows the river's serpentine meanders. The terrain is defined by the arid basin of Sand Lake and a series of rural routes that facilitate movement through this sparsely populated ranching country. Evidence of local heritage is centered near the intersection of Lara Rd and N Roberson Rd, where the small Lara Cem serves as a significant genealogical landmark for the region. Modern infrastructure, including Ranch Rd 1216 and various county roads like Co Rd 424, provides the framework for navigating the low-lying wetlands and dry washes that characterize this part of the Chihuahuan Desert.
