2022 Map of Toyah Lake

About this map

Toyah Creek dominates the eastern drainage of this Reeves County landscape, carving a wide basin through the arid terrain south of Pecos. The map reveals a hydrologic network where ephemeral features like Salt Draw and Barrilla Draw converge toward the creek bed, illustrating the watershed's seasonal character. Elevation is defined by prominent landmarks such as Blue Goose Hill, which stands as a distinct topographic marker in an otherwise low-lying area. Connectivity across this portion of West Texas is maintained by US Route 285 and Farm Road 1450, which cut across the basin. Localized water sources, including Hackberry Springs, provide essential historical context for the settlement and ranching patterns that depend on these rare desert outflows.
