2016 Map of Files Valley

About this map

Files Valley sits near the crossing of the Ellis Co Hill Co line in a landscape defined by an intricate network of creeks and drainage basins. During the mid-2010s, this region of Texas maintained its rural character, anchored by historic sites such as Files Cem, Berrys Chapel Cem, and Turner Cem. The water management of the area is particularly prominent, featuring several large reservoirs like Soil Conservation Service Site 37 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 38 Reservoir, which serve the agricultural lands surrounding Richland Cr. Smaller waterways, including Valley Br and Weakly Br, cut through the terrain, while local aviation is represented by the Bee Creek Airport in the northeast. The presence of roads like Bee Creek School House Rd hints at former community centers that once served this quiet corner of North-Central Texas.
