About this map

W Nueces River carves a winding path through this portion of Edwards County, defining a landscape shaped by seasonal water flow and ranching infrastructure. The map highlights the intersection of natural drainage systems and human utility, notably at Wiley Waterhole and along the various named draws such as Government Draw, Family Draw, and Fourmile Draw. These ephemeral waterways are critical landmarks in the arid terrain, often serving as the primary identifiers for local geography.

Transportation and recreation are anchored by Ranch Road 674 and the presence of Kickapoo Cavern State Park in the southern section. Aviation history is represented by the Pinon Ranch Airport, while secondary access routes like Cedar Creek Rd navigate the high ground between the river and eastern creeks such as Cherry Cr. The map provides a clear picture of a rural Texas environment where land use remains focused on large-scale ranching and conservation.
