2016 Map of Ballinger

About this map

The Colorado River and Elm Creek converge at Ballinger, anchoring a landscape shaped by water and rail transport. The city's grid is dense with named thoroughfares like N Broadway St and Hutchings Ave, which align with the BNSF Railway corridor. This transport nexus supported the region's agricultural development, visible in the network of county roads extending into the surrounding terrain. To the southwest, Evergreen Cem and Bruce Field stand near the highway approach, while the rural settlement of Bethel lies to the southeast among the drainage of Pony Cr. The map captures a sophisticated water management system, including Elm Creek Lake, Lee Lake, and Country Club Lake, alongside numerous named tributaries such as Stag Br and Bears Foot Cr that feed into the primary river valley.
