2012 Map of Dam Draw

About this map

Big Silver Creek and Walnut Creek define the drainage patterns of this central Texas landscape, characterized by a series of intermittent streams and ranching infrastructure. The area is marked by the eponymous Dam Draw, a prominent terrain feature that underscores the water management essential to this arid region. Ranching roads like Co RD-337 and Co RD-345 connect the vast rangeland, providing access to essential water sources such as Buck Creek Tank and Six Tank. This 2012 survey illustrates how the landscape is divided into a grid-like network of rural routes, supporting the livestock operations that dominate the vicinity of Buck Creek and Little Silver Creek. The presence of these named tanks and ephemeral creeks provides a clear view of the rural geography in this part of Nolan County.
