2016 Map of Whalen Lake

About this map

Whalen Lake sits at the center of this 2016 survey, a notable depression in the high plains of West Texas. The landscape is defined by a sparse but regular grid of rural infrastructure, reflecting the region's methodical development for resource access and ranching. Major transportation corridors like Ranch Rd 87 and N Fm 181 cut through the terrain, connecting this corner of Andrews County to broader regional markets. The map reveals a dense network of secondary local routes such as Co Rd 7001 and SW 7001, which navigate a complex system of industrial and agricultural tracts. This 21st-century record provides a clear view of how modern surveying and land use have organized the semi-arid environment, preserving the names of vital farm-to-market roads like Fm 1967 and Fm 2371 that sustain the local economy.
