About this map

Dam Draw carves through the transition between Mitchell and Nolan counties in West Texas, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent watercourses and ranching infrastructure. This high-plains terrain is marked by a complex drainage network, where Big Silver Cr and Buck Cr weave through the draws and ridges. The presence of water management features like Buck Cr Tank and Six Tank highlights the region's reliance on collected surface water for livestock in a semi-arid environment.

The map details the local road network, including Co RD 345 and E Co RD 337, which connect scattered homesteads and ranching operations across the county line. Other notable riparian features such as Cottonwood Cr, Walnut Cr, and Brushy Cr provide geographic orientation within this vast expanse of the Rolling Plains, illustrating the hydrological patterns that have dictated land use and settlement for generations.
