2012 Map of Stiles

About this map

Stiles occupies the heart of this Reagan County landscape, once serving as the original county seat in the early twentieth century before the railroad bypassed it. This modern survey reflects the area's transition into a landscape defined by ranching and resource extraction, notably the Stiles Oil Field to the east. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainage patterns, including High Lonesome Draw and Gardener Draw, which intersect the expansive grid of private ranch roads and lanes. Local family history is preserved at the Stiles Cem, situated just south of the main settlement. The map documents a network of rural thoroughfares such as Schwertner Blacktop, Ham Ranch Rd, and Patterson Ranch Rd, illustrating the continued importance of land access in this sparsely populated portion of the Permian Basin.
