2010 Map of German Valley

About this map

German and Stanford anchor this rural landscape in Coryell County, where the drainage systems of the Brazos and Leon river basins begin to diverge. The terrain is defined by the branching arms of Neils Creek, including the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork, which carve through the prominent Valley and Goar Valley regions. Significant for local family historians, the German Valley Cemetery and Boggy Cemetery remain as markers of the area's early settlement. Man-made modifications to the natural hydrology are evident at Stevens Lake, held by the Stevens Lake Dam. The southern portion of the map transitions toward the headwaters of Hog Creek and the Middle Bosque River, connected by a network of county roads like Co RD 312 and Co RD 218 that follow the natural contours of the various creek branches.
