2016 Map of Double Mill Draw NW

About this map

Double Mill Draw and its neighboring drainage systems define the high desert topography of this Crockett County landscape. The area is characterized by the ephemeral flow of Salt Draw in the northeast and Johnson Draw in the southwest, carving seasonal paths through the limestone-inflected terrain. The transportation corridor of Hwy 163 bisects the quadrangle vertically, crossing Buckhorn Draw as it moves across the plateau. Modern infrastructure is sparse, dominated by the intersection of state routes that connect this remote ranching country. The intricate contour work provided by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals the subtle elevation changes that direct water toward these primary draws, which serve as the defining landmarks for land navigation in this portion of West Texas.
