2022 Map of Hatchel

About this map

Hatchel stands as a primary landmark in this rural Runnels County landscape, where the northern edge of Ballinger begins to take shape along Hillcrest Ave and Highland Dr. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and creek beds, including Elm Creek, Coyote Cr, and Turkey Cr, which carve through the land north toward Bluff Cr. For those tracing local heritage, the Old Runnels Cem provides a significant point of historical interest near the center of the quadrangle. The map details a transition from the structured street grid of the county seat into a vast system of ranch and county roads, such as Co Rd 342 and FM 382, illustrating the enduring agricultural and pastoral character of this Central Texas region.
