2022 Map of Indian Draw

About this map

The rugged divide between Crockett County and Val Verde County is defined by a complex network of deep drainages in this West Texas survey. The landscape is dominated by the intersecting systems of Big Indian Canyon and Indian Draw, which carve through the high plateaus characteristic of the Edwards Plateau region. A critical water source in this arid environment is noted at Indian Water Hole Spring, a landmark of vital importance to early travelers and livestock operations in the area north of Pecos Canyon. The survey illustrates the isolation of the territory, where terrain features like Johnson Draw and Edwards Draw served as primary navigational markers before modern infrastructure. This detailed study of the drainages reveals the natural corridors that historically dictated movement across the county line.
