2010 Map of Boonsville

About this map

Boonsville and Balsora serve as the primary residential hubs in this part of Wise County, reflecting a landscape defined by ranching and resource extraction. The northern reach is punctuated by the Boonsville Gas Field, an indicator of the region's energy industry. This 2010 survey highlights a sophisticated network of water management, visible through numerous Soil Conservation Service installations such as Soil Conservation Service Site 22 Reservoir and the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Dam. These reservoirs are critical to managing the flow of local waterways like Garrett Creek, Salt Creek, and Willow Creek. Local history is anchored by several rural burial grounds, including Gillie Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, and Friendship Cemetery, which remain scattered among the section lines and farm roads. The road network, including FM 920 and FM 2210, connects these remote settlements across a terrain of creeks and minor branches like Oxford Water Branch.
