DRAW, TEXAS. Draw is at the intersection of Farm roads 213 and
1054, seventeen miles southeast of Tahoka in southeastern Lynn
County. It took its name from Mooar's Draw, a canyon to the
northeast. The community had a school as early as 1904. Draw's
population was reported as only twenty-five in 1933, but in 1940
its population was estimated at 100 and continued to be reported
at that level through 1960. By 1970 the population had dropped
to thirty-five. In 1974 Draw had a cotton gin and a store. From
1980 through 2000 its population was thirty-nine. Donald R.
