2019 Map of Sand Lake

About this map

The Pecos River carves a highly sinuous boundary between Reeves and Ward counties, anchoring this landscape of West Texas rangeland. In this late 2010s survey, the winding waterway contrasts sharply with the rigid, geometric grid of rural routes such as N Roberson Rd and Ranch Rd 1216. Significant for local genealogy, the Lara Cem sits along Lara Rd, preserving a small pocket of family history within the vast drainage area. The southern reaches are defined by the ephemeral basin of Sand Lake, a notable hydrologic landmark in a region where water features significantly influence settlement patterns and land use. This topographic study captures the intersection of natural riverine cycles and the modern roadway network used by local ranching communities.
