Blackwater Draw begins at the Texas-New Mexico border in northwestern Bailey County (at 34°19' N, 103°04' W) and stretches southeast for sixty-three miles, across Lamb and Hale counties, to its end on Yellow House Draw, in Yellow House Canyon northeast of Lubbock in central Lubbock County (at 33°36' N, 101°50' W). A creek that runs through much of the valley is dammed in its upper reaches. The surrounding flat to rolling terrain is surfaced by sandy loam and sand that support hardwood forests and grasses.
