2010 Map of Herring Ranch

About this map

Valley View and Norton anchor this portion of Runnels County, where the landscape is defined by the convergence of several major drainages and ranching operations. The terrain is marked by the presence of Quarry Creek, Valley Creek, and Mustang Branch, which flow through a network of rural roads such as FM 2111 and FM 383. The infrastructure reflects the importance of water management in this region, evidenced by Ballinger City Lake and Currie Lake, both secured by their respective dams, Lake Ballinger Dam and Currie Lake Dam. Economic activity is represented by the Motley Oil Field in the west and scattered ranching landmarks like the Herring Ranch. Unique localized markers, such as the Allen Number One Windmill and the topographic feature Bull Hollow, provide specific points of reference for those researching the historical land use and family holdings within this central Texas landscape during the early 21st century.
