About this map

The arid ranchlands of Crockett County are defined by a network of ephemeral drainage patterns and isolated county roads. This landscape is shaped by long-term water management and livestock patterns, where terrain features like Wilson Draw and the curiously named Dutch Woman Draw dictate the movement of both animals and equipment. In this region, seasonal water sources like Spring Cr are essential landmarks, punctuating the dry draws that cut through the high plains. The transition of the local infrastructure is evident in the rectilinear grid of University Ln and the simple, functional routes of Co Rd 131 and Co Rd 132, which provide the primary access to these sprawling West Texas properties. The map reveals the quiet, persistent nature of Texas ranching life, where the names of these dry washes remain the most significant identifiers on the land.
