2022 Map of Stephenson Lake

About this map

Midland Draw and Monahans Draw carve distinctive drainage patterns across this Midland County landscape, defining the local topography in an area characterized by intermittent watercourses. The map captures a transition between rural ranching land and the expanding road network of the Permian Basin, evidenced by the grid of county roads such as E Co Rd 120 and S Co Rd 1110. The presence of Pvt Ranch Rd and other private thoroughfares suggests the enduring legacy of large-scale landholdings even as infrastructure like E Fm 158 and Fm 1213 facilitates movement through the region. This 2022 survey provides a clear view of the intersection between natural draws and the man-made boundaries that dictate contemporary West Texas land use.
