1967 Map of Dunbar Draw SW

About this map

Mack Cauthorn Ranch and other family holdings define this high plains landscape at the intersection of Sutton, Val Verde, and Edwards Counties during the late 1960s. The region is characterized by an intricate network of ephemeral drainage systems, most notably Cauthorn Draw and the various branches of Buckley Draw. This survey illustrates a ranching economy reliant on isolated water sources and localized industry, evidenced by features such as Chester Well, Buckley Tank, and scattered Gravel Pits. The topography reveals the transition from relatively level tablelands to the dissected draws of the Edwards Plateau. Notable landmarks like the Roadside Park along the highway and specific sites like a Drill Hole provide unique markers for those tracing property boundaries or industrial activity in this specific corner of West Texas.
