2010 Map of Dunbar Draw NW

About this map

Dry Devils River meanders through this portion of Sutton County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by expansive ranching operations. The area is characterized by a series of named topographic depressions, including Halbert Draw, Cauthorn Draw, and Cusenbary Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward the primary riverbed. This 2010 survey highlights the traditional land-use patterns of the Texas Hill Country, where family-named properties like E Sawyer Ranch, C Shurley Ranch, and Reed Ranch serve as primary landmarks in an otherwise sparsely populated region. The network of local roads and unimproved tracks shown here provides insight into the connectivity between these remote homesteads and the drainage systems of Dunbar Draw, reflecting the essential relationship between water access and livestock management in this arid environment.
