2022 Map of Baggett Ranch

About this map

Bert Mertz Canyon and a network of ephemeral drainage patterns characterize this section of the Edwards Plateau in Crockett County. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major draws, including Johnson Draw and Live Oak Draw, which channel seasonal water across the high plains. Unlike more developed regions, the map shows a sparse network of infrastructure primarily serving the ranching economy, with Co Rd 401 and Ranch Rd 1973 providing the primary access through the terrain. The topographic detail reveals the complex relationship between the flat upland mesas and the deeply incised valleys of Baggett Draw and Tucker Draw. This 2022 survey serves as a precise record of the contemporary land use and natural hydrology in a region where cattle ranching and resource management remain the dominant forces.
