1979 Map of Carruthers Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Carruthers Draw and its many tributary drainage systems dominate this West Texas landscape in Val Verde County as recorded in the late 1970s. The topography is defined by the complex erosion patterns of the Edwards Plateau, where ephemeral watercourses like Cedar Draw, Piñon Draw, and Old Ranch Draw converge. A notable human landmark in this ranching country is the Rodeo Ground located near the banks of Miers Draw. The elevation drops toward the southern reaches of the map, marked by the prominent Red Bluff and the winding path of Red Bluff Creek. This survey, compiled from 1974 aerial photography by the Texas Department of Water Resources and federal agencies, details a network of unimproved roads and fence lines that illustrate the remote nature of these late-twentieth-century cattle and sheep ranching operations.
