2010 Map of Wild Horse Canyon

About this map

Ward Ranch, Phillips Ranch, and Adams Ranch anchor this landscape of West Texas rangeland in Crockett County. The drainage network is the defining characteristic of this terrain, where Taylor Box Draw and Bull Clod Draw carve paths across the high ground toward more substantial formations. To the north, Shaggy Canyon and Little Shaggy Canyon dominate the topography, while the central portion is marked by the namesake Wild Horse Canyon. The distribution of these family-named ranch sites and vital water infrastructure like Sulphur Windmill illustrates the persistent reliance on groundwater and local topography for livestock management in this arid region at the start of the twenty-first century.
