2010 Map of Holcomb Draw

About this map

Holcomb serves as a central point of reference in this West Texas landscape, where the drainage patterns of the Edwards Plateau dictate the movement of both water and travelers. The topography is defined by significant landmarks such as Bolden and a prominent Draw that carves through the limestone terrain. Transportation in this part of Val Verde County is characterized by utilitarian paths like Mail Trail Rd and Vinegeroon Draw Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land to connect disparate points in the brush country. Water features are sparse but vital, represented here by the intermittent flows of Mailtrail Creek in the north and Cow Creek to the south. This survey captures a moment in the early 21st century before modern expansion significantly altered these traditional ranching routes and desert drainages.
