2013 Map of Carruthers Draw

About this map

Red Bluff Cr and several significant ephemeral drainages define the arid landscape of Val Verde County in this early 21st-century survey. The terrain is dominated by the complex network of draws that channel seasonal water through the region, including Carruthers Draw, Miers Draw, and Piñon Draw. These features are central to the geography of West Texas ranch land, where water management and natural drainage patterns dictate the placement of infrastructure. Human presence is concentrated around the Tyra Ranch Airport, reflecting the importance of private aviation in accessing remote Texas ranching properties. Transport is limited to rugged paths and Dolan Creek Rd, which provides a rare artery through the undulating terrain near Old Ranch Draw.
