2010 Map of Toyah NW

About this map

Gresham RD cuts a long diagonal path across this arid West Texas landscape, serving as the primary artery through a region defined by its vital water sources. Scattered throughout the quadrangle are numerous windmills, including the Oil Well Windmill and CoCo Windmill, which reflect the ranching and resource extraction essential to life in this part of Reeves County. These engineered features stand in contrast to natural water landmarks like Johnson Lake, Canyon Spring, and Burnt Spring, which likely served as historic gathering points for livestock and travelers alike. The terrain is marked by significant drainage patterns such as China Draw and Coalson Draw, while Round Mountain provides a distinct topographical reference point in the northeast. This 2010 survey illustrates the continued reliance on both traditional springs and mechanical windmills to sustain activity in the high desert environment.
