About this map

The town of Toyah is the focal point of this West Texas landscape, positioned along a critical transportation corridor marked by major roads and rail lines. The local geography is defined by a series of drainage patterns, including Billingslea Draw, San Martine Draw, and Salt Draw, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure. To the southeast, Bullington Hill rises above the surrounding flats, while the town itself is served by several local thoroughfares such as S Centre St and N 4th St.

Genealogists and local historians can locate three distinct burial grounds near the settlement: Toyah Old Cemetery, Toyah New Cemetery, and the Mexican Cemetery. The map also meticulously records numerous water-management features essential to this arid region, including the Cargill Windmill, Pope Windmill, and Griffin Windmill. These named landmarks, along with many others like the White House Windmill and Airport Windmill, provide a detailed record of land use and family-named sites across the plains.
