1984 Map of Baylor Draw

About this map

South Well Draw and Baylor Draw carve through this arid Hudspeth County landscape, illustrating a complex drainage system reliant on seasonal water flow in the early 1980s. The region is defined by its extensive water management infrastructure, where named earthen structures like Preacher Tank and Big Moon Tank provided essential catchments for livestock and local use. These "tanks" often bear the names of local figures or landmarks, such as Corner Tank and Baylor Tank, serving as critical navigational points and genealogical markers in an otherwise sparse desert environment.
