2019 Map of Derrick Draw

About this map

Virginia Draw and Maverick Draw define the drainage of this arid landscape where the Culberson Co Reeves Co boundary line cuts north-south across the high plains. Water is the primary driver of infrastructure here, centered on rare sources like Virginia Springs and Salt Spring. The map documents a classic West Texas pattern of ranching and land management, where cattle tanks such as Maverick Tank and Cox Tank are critical markers in an otherwise open expanse. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes like FM 2119 and Ranch Rd 2119, providing access to the S Marsh Field area. The presence of Salt Cr and Incline Draw further illustrates the complex watershed system that shapes the local topography and historical land use.
