About this map

Crockett County ranching life is clearly defined by the intricate network of canyons and dry washes that crisscross this West Texas landscape. Named homesteads like Read Ranch and Perner Ranch anchor the territory, suggesting the importance of localized water sources and family operations in this semi-arid environment. The terrain is dominated by steep-sided drainages including Shaggy Canyon, Plum Canyon, and the curiously named Rock House Canyon, which along with several draws like Baggett Draw and Tucker Draw, shape the movement of people and livestock.
