2023 Map of Martin Draw

About this map

The Canadian River winds through this borderland where the high plains of Quay County meet the Texas state line. This landscape is defined by its dramatic topographic breaks, most notably at Texas Gap and Stagecoach Gap, where the terrain transitions between mesas and the river basin. Drainage systems such as Martin Draw, Rana Canyon, and Rana Arroyo carve through the earth, illustrating the erosive power of seasonal water in this arid environment. The map details the modern rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, including the grid of local roads like Quay Rd E and Q R 69 that serve the outlying ranch lands. In the southeast corner, Trujillo Creek provides another primary watercourse, marking the descent from the elevated plains toward the river valley below.
