1972 Map of Toyahvale

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

San Solomon Creek and Toyah Creek anchor this West Texas landscape, where complex irrigation systems define the desert environment during the early 1970s. The presence of Balmorhea State Park and its surrounding springs, including Giffin Springs and Phantom Lake Spring, highlights a vital oasis culture. A sophisticated network of water infrastructure is visible, including the Main Canal, Aqueduct, and Diversion Canal, illustrating how water was managed for the settlements of Balmorhea and Toyahvale. Evidence of mid-century community life is found at the Drive-in Theater and Balmorhea Landing Strips. The map also captures the transition from the flat terrain of Augustine Flat to the rising elevations of the Barrila Mountains, crossing the boundary between Reeves and Jeff Davis Counties.
