1965 Map of Files Valley

About this map

Files Valley and the smaller community of Files anchor this central Texas landscape along the border of Hill and Ellis counties during the mid-1960s. The area is defined by an extensive water management system designed for flood control and irrigation, featuring numerous numbered structures like Dam No 110 and Dam No 37 along Richland Creek and Itasca Creek. The topography is marked by deeply incised drainages such as Valley Branch and Weakly Branch, providing a look at rural land use before modern suburban expansion. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several landmarks including the Presbyterian Childrens Home and multiple burial sites such as Files Cem and Berrys Chapel Cem. The proliferation of Gravel Pits across the terrain indicates the importance of local material extraction for regional infrastructure during this period.
