2022 Map of Sonora NW

About this map

The Dry Devils River carves a significant course through this landscape, marking the transition across the Schleicher Co and Sutton Co line in west-central Texas. This 2022 survey documents a rugged ranching terrain defined by deep draws and water management infrastructure, most notably the Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service-Site 7 Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with the drainage of Meckel Draw, illustrate the region's historical reliance on seasonal water catchments in an arid environment. The map shows a network of private and county roads, such as Co RD 102 and PVT RD 1158, that provide access to the remote interior ranch lands and livestock operations that have long characterized this part of the Edwards Plateau.
