2019 Map of Carta Valley

About this map

Carta Valley serves as the central point of interest in this arid Southwest Texas landscape, where the Val Verde and Edwards County line bisects a network of ephemeral waterways. The geography is defined by deep incisions like Riggs Draw, Kaufman Draw, and Wallace Well Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward larger drainage systems such as Red Bluff Cr and Cow Cr. This modern 2019 survey documents the enduring ranching infrastructure of the region, including the Mafrige Ranch Inc Airport and the local Carta Valley Cem. The sparse settlement pattern and reliance on private access, noted by Pvt Rd 2086, reflect the transition from historic open range to contemporary large-acreage land management along the edge of the Edwards Plateau.
