2016 Map of Burnt Canyon

About this map

Burnt Canyon and the surrounding drainages of Crockett County define this landscape of deep-cut draws and high divides. The map records the intricate network of watercourses that shape the terrain, including the sequence of First Canyon, Second Canyon, and Third Canyon as they feed into larger systems like Government Draw and Escondido Draw. Human presence is marked primarily by ranch infrastructure and a remote road network, with routes like Hoover Divide Rd and Dunlap Rd providing the only access through this dissected plateau. A single water feature, Clay Tank, sits in the northern half of the sheet, highlighting the importance of managed water points in this arid Texas environment. This documentation provides a clear look at the topography and ranch roads of the Edwards Plateau region in the early 21st century.
