2022 Map of McEwen Draw

About this map

Lake Coleman dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, where the waters of Jim Ned Creek and Rough Creek converge. The terrain is defined by the sharp incisions of local drainages, most notably the namesake McEwen Draw in the north and the deep corridor of Long Hollow in the west. This area of central Texas, straddling the boundary between Callahan and Coleman counties, shows a sparse ranching and rural network connected by routes such as FM 482 and Co RD 247. Water management is a critical feature of the local geography, evidenced by the Soil Conservation Service Site 12f Reservoir and Hudson Lake, which support the agricultural needs of the high-plains landscape. The map also traces the headwaters of several streams, including Crooked Cr and Clear Cr, moving through the undulating topography.
