2013 Map of Ben Wheeler

About this map

Ben Wheeler and Edom anchor this rural Van Zandt County landscape, where a dense network of county roads and farm-to-market routes facilitates movement between timbered tracts and scattered water bodies. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several significant drainages, including the Neches River in the northeast and the south-flowing Prairie Cr, Slater Cr, and Murchison Cr. These waterways are punctuated by numerous small reservoirs and natural springs, such as Carter Spring and Mitchell Lake, reflecting the region's agricultural reliance on local water sources.
