2019 Map of Wild Horse Canyon

About this map

Wild Horse Canyon and the surrounding drainage network define this 2019 survey of the West Texas landscape in Crockett County. The area is characterized by an intricate system of dry washes and canyons, including the notably named Jesus Draw and Bull Clod Draw. This geography reflects the traditional ranching environment of the Edwards Plateau, where water management and seasonal runoff dictate the use of the land. Human presence is sparse, anchored primarily by the transit corridor of State Highway 163 along the western edge and local access routes like Taylor Box Road. Other significant natural landmarks such as Shaggy Canyon, Little Shaggy Canyon, and Jackson Draw illustrate the deeply dissected terrain that has shaped local land boundaries and movement for generations. The U.S. Geological Survey used 2016 NAIP imagery to document these features, providing a precise record of the contemporary landscape.
