2010 Map of Files Valley

About this map

Files Valley sits at the center of this rural Hill County landscape, defined by a network of drainage basins and soil conservation infrastructure. The area is dominated by the upper reaches of Richland Creek and its various tributaries, including Itasca Creek, Valley Branch, and Mill Creek. A significant characteristic of this 2010 map is the extensive series of reservoirs and dams managed by the Soil Conservation Service, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 37 and Site 41, which dot the landscape to manage water runoff across the agricultural plains.
