2022 Map of Shafter Draw

About this map

Panther Bluff and Cedar Bluff dominate the northern terrain of this Edwards Plateau landscape, where the surface is carved by an intricate network of seasonal drainages. The Crockett County and Sutton County line bisects the area vertically, marking a boundary through a region defined by ranching access and deep topographic relief. Large draws like Shafter Draw and Cocklebur Draw suggest the historical importance of water management in this arid stretch of West Texas. Modern navigation relies on a system of private and county roads, including Taylor Bx Dr and the historically significant Old Juno Rd, which provide access to the remote draws and canyons like Dutch Cave Canyon and Hog Canyon. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the Texas backcountry, where family-named landmarks and geographic features remain the primary identifiers of the land.
