2016 Map of White Draw NW

About this map

The Devils River winds through this arid section of Val Verde County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by deep, seasonal watercourses. Large-scale topographic relief is illustrated by the paths of Buckley Draw and Threemile Draw, which cut through the limestone terrain to reach the river valley. Human presence is concentrated along the corridor of Ranch Rd 189, which provides the primary access route through this remote ranching country. The placement of these water sources and primitive roads reflects the enduring importance of topography in West Texas navigation, where natural draws often dictate the placement of ranch infrastructure and transportation lines.
