2013 Map of Herring Ranch

About this map

Valley View serves as a central point in this Runnels County landscape, where the prairie meets an established network of county roads and ranching lands. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Mustang Br and Valley Cr, which carve through the plains alongside numerous smaller tributaries like Quarry Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern intersection of agriculture and energy extraction, specifically noted at the Motley Oil Field located southwest of the Herring Ranch. Water management is a critical component of the local geography, visible in the significant expanse of Ballinger City Lake and smaller catchments like Currie Lake. The map also captures specific local landmarks such as the Allen Number One Windmill, providing a clear record of rural infrastructure and land use patterns in West Texas during the early 21st century.
