2016 Map of Wild Horse Canyon

About this map

Wild Horse Canyon dominates this portion of the West Texas landscape, where the high desert plateau is deeply incised by a network of drainage features. The area's topographic character is defined by these seasonal watercourses, including Jesus Draw and Bean Draw in the south, which channel runoff through the arid terrain. The mapping reveals a sparse infrastructure, primarily centered on Route 163 and Taylor Box Rd, reflecting the large-scale ranching operations typical of Crockett County. In the northern reaches, the geography becomes increasingly complex as Shaggy Canyon and Little Shaggy Canyon converge. The naming of features like Bull Clod Draw and Taylor Box Draw points to the local vernacular of the cattle industry, where every significant fold in the earth was identified for navigation and livestock management.
