About this map

The W Nueces River carves a winding path through this portion of Edwards County, defining a landscape of deep draws and seasonal water sources. The namesake Wiley Waterhole and the Pinon Ranch settlement anchor the southeastern quadrant, where the Pinon Ranch Airport serves this isolated ranching region. The terrain is marked by a complex network of drainage features, including Newberry Draw, Fourmile Draw, and Government Draw, which illustrate the hydraulic character of the Edwards Plateau.

Modern infrastructure and recreation are represented by Ranch Rd 674 and Cedar Creek Rd, providing access to remote tracts. Specialized pathways such as the The Long Way Home Trl and the Stuart Bat Cave Cut-Off Trl suggest local landmarks and perhaps specific ecological interests like the nearby bat habitats. This 2022 survey captures the contemporary balance of private ranching operations and the natural drainage systems of the West Nueces River basin.
