About this map

Whalen Lake dominates the central landscape of this West Texas territory, providing a rare hydrological focal point in an area defined by long-distance ranch roads and rural sections. The 2022 survey illustrates a sparse but structured network of infrastructure, where Ranch Rd 87 cuts diagonally across the northern horizon, linking the remote landscape to the broader Andrews County region.

A system of secondary routes, including FM 1967 and S FM 181, serves the surrounding sections, which are further divided by local access roads such as Co Rd 7001 and SW 7201. These numbered roads reflect the systematic land divisions common to the Permian Basin, where the environment is often managed for industrial or agricultural operations. This map serves as a modern record of the area's physical geography and the persistent road network that sustains its remote character.
