2010 Map of Fordtran

About this map

The small community of Fordtran serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in Victoria County, characterized by a mix of ranching operations and petroleum extraction. The importance of livestock management is evident through large-scale water projects such as Musselman Cattle Company Lake Number 1 and its counterpart Lake Number 2, both controlled by dedicated dams. The drainage network is complex, with South Chicolete Creek and Garcitas Creek meandering through the territory, supported by other local waterways like Price Creek and Haines Flat Creek. The industrial footprint of the region is marked by the Barry Oil Field and the Helen Gohlke Oil Field, while the local transportation and educational history are preserved in names like Garrett-Gonzales School Rd, connecting the scattered homesteads and ranches.
