2019 Map of Deaton Draw

About this map

The Devils River carves a deep path through the northwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a complex network of draws and canyons. This arid region of Val Verde County is defined by its dramatic topographic relief, where ancient watercourses have etched deeply into the limestone plateau. Significant drainages such as Deaton Draw and Phillips Draw run generally eastward, while more localized features like Young Canyon and Trail Canyon create a labyrinthine pattern of ridges and valleys. The presence of features such as Cedar Mott Draw and Live Oak Draw suggests localized pockets of vegetation and seasonal water sources that have historically influenced land use in this part of the Edwards Plateau. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain before it descends toward the river valley, showing the remote and sparsely developed character of the South Texas brush country.
