2016 Map of Indian Mountain

About this map

Indian Mountain and Black Mtn anchor this West Texas landscape, where the topography is defined by a network of drainage systems including Bluff Cr and Cave Cr. The map highlights critical water sources in an arid region, such as Stagecoach Waterhole, Pecan Springs, and Cherry Spring, which historically dictated movement and land use across Edwards County. A single remote airstrip, the Pinon Ranch Airport, appears in the southwest corner, signifying the modern connectivity of these isolated ranchlands. County roads like Co RD 17 and Cedar Creek RD provide the primary transit through the canyons and draws, following the natural contours shaped by Sycamore Cr and Dry Sycamore Cr. The layout of these ranch access points and named springs illustrates the enduring reliance on specific hydrological features for habitation and livestock management in the Texas Hill Country.
