2017 Map of Sacaton Draw

About this map

Double Mills and the ranching settlement of Barrajon anchor this section of Guadalupe County, where water management is the primary shaper of the landscape. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of catchments and drainage basins, including Salitre Tank, Upper Tank, and N Los Tanos Tank, which support livestock in this arid environment. Natural drainage flows through Sacaton Draw and along Gonzales Cr, following the descent from the elevated prominence of Boot Hill. For those researching local lineages, the Los Tanos Cem provides a significant genealogical reference point along Los Tanos Rd, situated near the banks of Los Tanos Cr. The map's detailed grid reflects the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how land was divided and accessed via routes like Co Rd 1 A F and Simpson Rd.
