2019 Map of Baylor Draw

About this map

Baylor Draw and Blanco Draw cut through this arid landscape of western Texas, defining the drainage patterns of Hudspeth County. The terrain is characterized by a sparse but essential network of water management features, including several named stock tanks that suggest a history of ranching and livestock movement in this high-desert environment. Notable catchments such as Preacher Tank, Big Moon Tank, and Double Tanks are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as vital landmarks and water sources in an otherwise dry expanse. The map also captures the upper reaches of Mohawk Draw and South Well Draw, illustrating the complex system of ephemeral washes that shape the local topography. This collection of family-named or descriptively-named tanks and draws provides a look at the infrastructure required to sustain life and agriculture in this corner of the Trans-Pecos.
