2013 Map of Broadax Draw

About this map

Broadax Draw defines this Lincoln County landscape, a terrain carved by canyons and drainage systems that supported isolated ranching operations in the early 21st century. The map highlights the localized utility of the land, featuring the Sheffels Ranch Airport and the seasonal importance of Broadax Spring. A rectilinear grid of gravel and dirt roads, including Birchill Rd N, Dawson Rd N, and Sheffels Rd N, follows the Public Land Survey System boundaries, reflecting the enduring legacy of homesteading and property division in Eastern Washington. To the northeast, the contours drop sharply into Kaufman Canyon, while the southern reaches near Wilbur Airport Rd E indicate the outskirts of regional transit hubs. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of how high-plateau agriculture and private aviation integrated into the natural geography of the Big Bend country.
