2016 Map of Indian Canyon

About this map

Indian Canyon and Buck Canyon dominate this West Texas landscape, cutting deep relief across the boundary between Dawson County and Borden County. The area is characterized by an intricate drainage system including Tobacco Cr, Wet Tobacco Cr, and Buck Canyon Cr, which collectively feed the regional watershed. This 2016 survey illustrates the intersection of traditional West Texas ranching geography with modern infrastructure, as shown by the network of county roads like Co RD 133 and Co RD 125 that grid the plateau above the canyons. In the northeast corner, the settlement of Mesquite sits near the headwaters of the canyon system, while T J F Draw provides a prominent topographical landmark to the southwest. The presence of FM 1054 in the southeast provides a primary transport link through this remote section of the High Plains.
