2016 Map of Noelke

About this map

Noelke serves as the focal point for this Irion County landscape, situated where the Edwards Plateau begins its descent into a series of drainage systems. The map details a ranching and resource-based economy, evidenced by the network of private and county roads such as Conoco Rd and Walters Rd that crisscross the arid terrain. Significant topographic landmarks like High Point Hill and Monument Hill provide orientation across the draws and ridges, while local hydrology is marked by specialized features such as Jehovahs Witnesses Waterhole and Clay Waterhole. These water sources, along with the seasonal flow of Spring Cr, underscore the critical nature of water management in this part of West Texas. The presence of Rock Pen Draw and Wilson Draw further defines the natural corridors used for navigation and land division in a region dominated by large-scale landholdings.
