1996 Map of Moore Draw SE

About this map

Comanche National Grassland encompasses a significant portion of this high plains landscape, where the seasonal watercourses of Moore Draw and Mitchell Draw carve subtle relief into the terrain. This 1996 revision, published by the U.S. Geological Survey and USDA Forest Service, highlights the management of these public lands through features like the Wildlife Exclosure located in the southern portion of the sheet. The map reflects a landscape primarily defined by livestock grazing and conservation, with several Gravel Pits and a smaller Gravel Pit scattered across the draws, indicating local material extraction used for maintaining the network of light-duty and unimproved roads. The topography, compiled originally in the early 1970s and updated with 1990s imagery, reveals the drainage patterns essential to ranching in this corner of Baca County.
