2010 Map of Toyah Lake

About this map

Toyah Lake dominates this Reeves County landscape, appearing as a significant ephemeral water body in a region defined by arid drainage patterns. The 2010 survey illustrates the transition of water through the desert via Toyah Creek and Salt Draw, which feed into the primary lake basin and the nearby Dry Salt Lake to the north. These features highlight the alkaline environment and the intermittent nature of West Texas hydrology. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the Lake Ranch located south of the main lake bed, illustrating the pastoral land use that persists despite the challenging terrain. The area is traversed by Farm Rd 1450 and local routes like Co Rd 113, which navigate around prominent landmarks such as Blue Goose Hill. This map provides a detailed view of the natural and man-made infrastructure in this remote corner of the Trans-Pecos.
