1974 Map of Wiley Waterhole

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The West Nueces River carves a significant course through this Edwards County landscape, defining a terrain dominated by intermittent drainage systems and ranching infrastructure. Surveyed in the mid-1970s, the map highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid region, as evidenced by numerous labels for Tanks and Wells distributed across the high ground. The namesake Wiley Waterhole sits along the river's path, while a complex network of named valleys like Government Draw and Newberry Draw channel runoff toward the river and its southern tributaries, including Dobbs Run. Small-scale industrial activity is noted by a Gravel Pit and a Drill Hole, suggesting localized resource extraction during this era. The presence of several Jeep Trails indicates the remote nature of the area, providing access between the limestone ridges and the valley floors of Cherry Creek and the East Fork Sycamore Creek.
