2016 Map of Baggett Ranch

About this map

Baggett Ranch and the surrounding rangeland of Crockett County are defined by a complex network of ephemeral watercourses that drain this high plateau. Significant geological features such as Bert Mertz Canyon cut through the landscape, illustrating the erosive forces at work in this arid region. The drainage system is particularly well-documented here, featuring named channels including Tucker Draw, Johnson Draw, and Live Oak Draw. Human activity and infrastructure are sparse, concentrated primarily along Ranch Rd 1973 and Co Rd 401, which provide the essential conduits through this remote ranching territory. The map captures the specialized hydrology of the region where Baggett Draw terminates, providing researchers and land managers a clear view of the topographic contours that dictate water movement and land use in west Texas.
