2019 Map of Hackberry Draw SW

About this map

Independence Cr and Hackberry Draw carve through this section of Pecos County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent watercourses and sprawling ranch lands. In this late 2010s survey, the infrastructure of the West Texas interior is represented by primitive road networks serving isolated outposts. Long-established ranching interests are evident through the presence of Gray Ranch Rd and Huckaby Ranch Rd, which provide the primary access through the undulating terrain. The drainage patterns of the draws and creeks illustrated here are essential to understanding the historic land use and pastoral economy of this semi-arid region, where water sources dictated the placement of trails and early settlements.
