About this map

The Dry Devils River carves through this portion of Val Verde County, defining a landscape dominated by deep drainage canyons and ranchland infrastructure. In the late 1970s, this area north of Del Rio served as a remote outpost for aviation and livestock, anchored by the Davis Ranch Airport and the small settlements of Vinegarone and Loma Alta. The drainage pattern is exceptionally detailed, featuring family-named or descriptive draws such as Davis Draw, Miers Draw, and Vinegarone Draw. Local topography is further marked by numerous named canyons, including Steer Canyon and Prickly Pear Canyon, which demonstrate the arid, rugged nature of the Texas Hill Country's western fringes. Several gravel pits and drill holes scattered across the terrain reflect the local land use and resource extraction of the era.
