About this map

The Colorado River defines the southern edge of Ballinger, where a dense grid of streets like Sealy Ave and Railroad Ave meets the water’s edge. This landscape is characterized by a network of drainage creeks and tributaries, including Elm Cr, Sand Br, and Stag Br, that flow through the surrounding plains of Runnels County. To the west, the Los Arroyos terrain sits near Country Club Lake, while the local infrastructure is supported by Bruce Field Airport to the southwest.

Genealogists and local historians can locate Evergreen Cem along the highway corridor, providing a focal point for family history research. The presence of Lee Lake and several named branches like Long Br and Pony Cr illustrates the vital role of water management in this agricultural region. The map captures the city at a point where traditional street naming conventions and modern county road numbering coexist, marking the development of the area's transportation network.
