About this map

Green Valley sits at the heart of this landscape, surrounded by a high density of private airfields and regional water bodies in Denton County. The topography is defined by the Elm Fork Trinity River, which flows southward from the massive Ray Roberts Lake into a complex network of wetlands and smaller tributaries like Clear Creek and Culp Branch. The map reveals a transition from the structured residential outskirts of Denton in the southwest to the more open, airfield-dotted lands near Aubrey and Krugerville.

Pilots and aviation historians will find a high concentration of small landing strips, including Vultures Row Airport, Hartlee Field, and Venable Airpark. The presence of Stagecoach Pass suggests historical transit routes that predated the modern grid of Farm-to-Market roads like FM 455 and FM 428. The map also captures several private water features such as Crains Lake and Evans Lake, reflecting the hydrological character of the Trinity River basin.
