2022 Map of Brushy Draw

About this map

Brushy Draw and its network of ephemeral watercourses define this remote expanse of West Texas, where the landscape is carved by deep drainage systems like Noelke Draw and Jackson Draw. This modern topographic study reveals a terrain of significant elevation changes, most notably at Cedar Bluff Canyon, where the topography drops sharply toward the canyon floor. The map documents the political boundary between Crockett Co and Val Verde Co, a line that cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Human presence is limited to the corridor of State Highway 163 and a few secondary routes like Co RD 102, reflecting a territory where natural landforms take precedence over settlement. This survey provides a precise accounting of the Middle Draw and surrounding ridges as they appeared in 2022.
