2012 Map of Mitchell Draw

About this map

Independence Cr winds through the arid landscape of Terrell County, defining the drainage patterns of this sparsely populated region of West Texas. The terrain is characterized by a network of ephemeral watercourses and topographic depressions, most notably Mitchell Draw and Seventeen Draw, which reveal the natural erosion and drainage paths essential to the local ranching environment. Infrastructure is limited to a handful of vital routes, such as Hayre Rd and FM-2400, which provide the only primary access through the surrounding plains. This mapping captures the intersection of natural hydrology and human navigation in a remote section of the Pecos River basin, where seasonal water flow and long-distance roadway connections remain the dominant features of the land.
