2010 Map of Flat Rock Draw SW

About this map

Glasscock Ranch and Hunt Ranch define the sparse settlement pattern of this West Texas landscape, where large-scale ranching operations are dictated by the presence of intermittent water sources and dramatic canyon topography. The drainage network is dominated by the Devils River and its seasonal counterpart, the Dry Devils River, which carve deep paths through the limestone terrain. The transport network is limited, centered on Ranch Rd 189, reflecting the area's isolation and reliance on private access roads for land management. Distinctive geological features like Pot Hole City Canyon and Rough Canyon illustrate the erosive power of flash flooding in this arid environment, creating a complex series of draws including Flat Rock Draw and Granger Draw. This 2010 survey provides a clear look at the enduring boundaries and family-named landmarks that have characterized Val Verde County for generations.
