About this map

Mailtrail Creek winds through the southwestern reaches of this Edwards County landscape, reflecting the essential role of seasonal water in the high plateau country of West Texas. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain is characterized by a network of drainage features such as Wittenburg Draw, Crooked Draw, and Cedar Draw. These dry washes and creek beds define the movement of water across a region where resources were sparse and carefully managed. Evidence of human modification and resource extraction appears in the form of several Gravel Pit sites and larger Gravel Pits concentrated near the northern draws, while a remote Tank and Well indicate the infrastructure required for ranching. A notable natural landmark, Dunbar Cave, provides a specific point of geological interest within this sparsely settled area, which is traversed by an unnamed Trail.
