Centralia Draw
Stiles lies within an ancient stream channel called Centralia Draw that rises 13 mi (21 km) northeast of Rankin in eastern Upton County (31°19′N 101°52′W / 31.317°N 101.867°W / 31.317; -101.867) and runs east for 43 mi (69 km) across Upton, Reagan, and Irion counties to the Middle Concho River. Today, Centralia Draw remains dry most of the year except during occasional brief periods of heavy rainfall and runoff. Evidence suggests that in the past a more active spring-fed stream once flowed through Centralia Draw cutting the broad valley we see today.

“There are some who speak well and write badly. For the place and the audience warm them, and draw from their minds more than they think of without that warmth.”
