2016 Map of Marlboro Canyon SE

About this map

China Draw provides the primary drainage through this arid stretch of the Edwards Plateau in West Texas. The landscape is defined by its topographic relief, where numerous unnamed canyons and draws intersect to form the Marlboro Canyon SE region. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by a network of ranch and county roads that navigate the complex elevation changes. The infrastructure recorded here, including Amacker Rd, Ranch Loop Rd, and Co Rd 485, reflects the enduring rural character and ranching legacy of Upton County. This survey illustrates how human passage is dictated by the natural contours of the draws and ridges that dominate the terrain southeast of the larger Marlboro Canyon system.
