2022 Map of Needle Creek

About this map

The intersection of McCulloch, Menard, and Concho Counties defines this central Texas landscape, characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and conservation infrastructure. The terrain is marked by significant draws like Clements Draw and Deland Draw, which channel runoff through the arid plateau toward more permanent creek beds. A notable feature of the modern era is the extensive series of Soil Conservation Service reservoirs, including Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Reservoir and Site 16 Reservoir, which dot the landscape to manage water resources for ranching and erosion control.
