About this map

McKenzie Draw carves a subtle path through this rural landscape at the meeting point of four West Texas counties. The terrain is characterized by broad depressions and ephemeral water features, most notably Brushy Lake, which sits in a shallow basin near the center of the sheet. This area serves as a transition point between the High Plains and the Permian Basin, where the county lines of Gaines, Dawson, Martin, and Andrews converge. The human footprint is defined by a sparse but regular grid of agricultural and ranching access roads, including Ranch Rd 703 and Ranch Rd 2051, which connect isolated homesteads and work sites across the flat topography. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure required for transport and land management in this semiarid region.
