About this map

Indian Mtn and Black Mtn anchor this portion of the Edwards Plateau, where the headwaters of the West Nueces River carve a complex network of dry draws and seasonal creeks. The landscape is defined by its water sources, both natural and improved, including Pecan Springs, Cherry Spring, and the evocatively named Stagecoach Waterhole. These features hint at the historical reliance on reliable springs in this arid region of Texas.

Modern transportation and access are represented by Co Rd 17 and Cedar Creek Rd, which provide the primary routes through this sparsely populated area. The presence of the Pinon Ranch Airport in the southwest corner suggests the importance of private aviation for accessing these large ranch holdings. The drainage patterns of Dry Sycamore Cr and Bluff Cr illustrate the dramatic topography and the erosive force of occasional heavy rains on the limestone terrain.
