2010 Map of Dryden NW

About this map

Mitchell Ranch, Wood Ranch, and Odom Ranch define the human footprint across this dry landscape in Terrell County. The map documents a classic West Texas ranching environment where life and movement are dictated by the natural drainage systems of Downie Draw and Eightmile Draw. These ephemeral watercourses carve through the terrain, providing the primary geographic structure for the isolated homesteads and access routes like James Rd. The sparse road network, including the southern path of Odom Rd, illustrates the vast distances between established sites in this portion of the Trans-Pecos region. This 2010 survey provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the placement of individual ranch buildings to the subtle elevation changes that guide runoff toward the Pecos River basin beyond these borders.
