 NRA's informational brochure.
The Nueces River Basin comprises much of what is known as South Texas. Encompassing an area of more than 17,000 square miles, it extends from Rocksprings on the Edwards Plateau southward across the Brush Country to Nueces Bay at Corpus Christi. The Nueces Basin is approximately 235 miles long and 115 miles wide. It includes all or parts of 23 counties. Geographically the Nueces Basin can be divided into three segments; Upper, Middle and Lower.
