2022 Map of Burro Draw

About this map

The Jeff Davis Co and Presidio Co line cuts across this high-desert terrain, where drainage patterns define the landscape of the Trans-Pecos. The geography is characterized by a series of significant seasonal watercourses, most notably Burro Draw and Owls Nest Canyon, which indicate the complex natural irrigation and erosion paths through the region. This 2022 survey captures the area's transition into modern land management, where ranching legacies are preserved in the naming of local infrastructure like Hughes Ranch Rd and Smith-Coffey Rd. Beyond these few marked tracks, the map reveals an environment primarily shaped by natural topography, including Juniper Draw, Duncan Draw, and Big Trestle Draw. The relative lack of permanent settlements emphasizes the vast, open character of this West Texas borderland.
