2022 Map of Howards Well NE

About this map

Government Canyon dominates the southeastern quadrant of this West Texas landscape, cutting a deep path through the high plateau of Crockett County. This 2022 survey reveals a terrain defined by dramatic drainage networks and limestone-driven topography, where massive erosion features like Sevenmile Draw and Anderson Draw carry seasonal runoff across the arid plains. The transportation network is sparse, consisting primarily of rural routes such as Co Rd 402 and Co Rd 401 that trace the higher ground between these deep canyons. The layout of Cr 106 and Dove St reflects the large-scale ranching operations and private landholdings typical of this portion of the Edwards Plateau, where the arrangement of roads is dictated by the unforgiving rise and fall of the draws.
