2016 Map of Carruthers Draw

About this map

Carruthers Draw and Miers Draw define the drainage patterns of this Val Verde County landscape, where deep arroyos and complex relief characterize the terrain. The network of seasonal waterways, including Red Bluff Cr and Piñon Draw, illustrates the hydrological architecture of the Texas brush country. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by the Morning Star Ranch Airport and remote ranch access routes like Dolan Creek Rd and Tyrus Ranch Rd. The survey reveals a landscape organized around livestock ranching and private landholdings, with named features like Old Ranch Draw and Cedar Draw serving as vital landmarks for navigation in an area defined by its arid topography and expansive ranch boundaries.
