About this map

Howard Draw serves as the primary drainage axis for this remote stretch of the Trans-Pecos, where the Crockett Co Val Verde Co line bisects a complex network of steep limestone breaks and dry washes. The landscape is defined by its deep incisions, including the eponymous Antone Canyon and the winding Dog Canyon further east. Transportation across this arid terrain is limited to a handful of unpaved routes like Pandale Rd and Co RD 406, reflecting the sparse ranching infrastructure of the region.

Insight into the local land use is found in the naming of features like New Well Canyon, signaling the critical importance of water development in this environment. Historical paths are preserved through labels such as the Dog Canyon Trl, which skirts the rim of the canyon system. Other significant drainages, including Perkins Draw and Jesus Canyon, illustrate the intricate topographic relief that characterizes the southern reaches of Crockett County.
