Why is it called a "Drainage" ?

[Short Track]

There should be hunter education for easterners hunting out west. Took me 15 years to understand this, & $100,000 worth of hunting over the years.

It’s payback for us needing a translator to understand the local dialect in Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Boston, Louisiana

We had to know that to move on to the 2nd grade.

But what about Pepperoni Rolls?

Had to be able to make those by 4th right?

If the red line has a "creek" running down it, which one of these lines is a drainage then? Asking for a friend.

Can honestly remember helping my mom around 8 or 9.

The yellow and blue are ridges. Your friend draw those?

I would call everything within the orange (line following ridglines that contain this entire watershed) a small drainage.

Your friend is correct. My friend posted that other comment, I'll be sure and let him know he was wrong.

My, I would call both yellow and blue a drainage. Add a modifier like "little side drainage " if needed. But I'm just a coonass hillbilly that got lost and don't really speak the language.

Depending on the larger area, I would probably call the red line a valley.

My friend has made a large enough fool of himself tonight and is going to shut up.

Yep, blue are draws, yellow is creek/bottom of drainage if generally dry.

Maybe someone on this thread can explain what a "crick" is??

Smaller than a river bigger than a stream

Thems fighting words my man! And yes, I really do pronounce it that way. I live in a very... uhhh... gentrified? part of the south that very recently has become "cool" to move to. It's very obvious when you're talking to people who grew up here and who are transplants.

Everyone knows that the only ones we talk about are white oaks.

yellow-drainage/draw, blue-draws/finger draws, whatever you can convey to your hunting partner to know where you went for the day. Draws draw water into a drainage. Drainage drains the water from the terrain.

That is what can be confusing to just use one source for your topographic discussion. Single plane aerial photos can be deceiving at times. Topographic maps are easy to read and decipher.

Yeah, TX isn't the south, more like Mexico.

Born South of I-10 east of TX and you are a true Southerner. Born north of I-10, but south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and east of TX you are a southern yankee. Born south of I-10 in TX and you are just a Mexican.
