2013 Map of Boonsville

About this map

Boonsville and Balsora anchor this rural landscape in Wise County, characterized by a complex network of waterways and extensive water management infrastructure. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Garrett Cr, Salt Cr, and Willow Cr, which are punctuated by numerous reservoirs constructed by the Soil Conservation Service. These include Site 15 Reservoir and Site 22 Reservoir, illustrating the mid-century push for flood control and water conservation in North Texas. The economic character of the region is further marked by the Boonsville Gas Field, while local genealogy is rooted in sites like Bethel Cem, Gillie Cem, and Friendship Cem. A dense grid of county roads and family-named private drives provides access to the dispersed farmsteads and energy resources of this prairie region.
