2010 Map of Wallace Draw

About this map

Middle Concho River flows across the southern portion of this West Texas landscape, providing a critical water source in an otherwise arid environment defined by seasonal drainages. The Sugg Ranch headquarters stands near the river, reflecting the region's enduring ranching heritage. North of the river, the terrain is marked by the winding path of Dry Creek and a network of rural routes that facilitate movement through the open range. Local infrastructure is highlighted by uniquely named thoroughfares such as Hell Hole Rd and Cattle Guard 8 Rd, which underscore the practical and sometimes colorful nature of navigation in Irion County. This document captures the intersection of ranching life and geography just as digital mapping standards were being refined by the U.S. Geological Survey.
