2022 Map of Carta Valley NE

About this map

Old US Hwy 377 cuts across the northeastern corner of this Edwards County landscape, a modern artery following a corridor through the Edwards Plateau. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of intermittent watercourses, where drainage systems like Wittenburg Draw and Bolden Draw have carved a complex topography into the limestone. Further south, Mailtrail Cr and Crooked Draw underscore the importance of seasonal water management in this arid stretch of West Texas. This 2022 survey reveals a landscape primarily dedicated to large-scale ranching and transit, with a sparse network of service roads such as Co Rd 440 and SD 45024 providing the only access to the interior. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the region's character as a vast, open territory focused on pastoral use and regional transport connectivity.
