2022 Map of Mitchell Canyon

About this map

Howard Draw and Escondido Draw define the drainage patterns of this arid Crockett County landscape, where deep canyons and dry washes dictate the placement of local infrastructure. This 2022 survey illustrates how modern roadways like Pandale Rd and Howard Draw Rd follow the natural contours of the high plateau, skirting the edges of Mitchell Canyon and Government Canyon. The absence of dense settlement highlights the vast, open nature of this ranching region in West Texas. For researchers, the map provides a clear record of remote access via routes such as Co Rd 405 and Co Rd 407, showing how they navigate the steep elevation changes between Government Draw and the surrounding tablelands.
