2016 Map of Little Grape Creek

About this map

The Runnels Co and Coleman Co boundary divides this landscape, where the meandering course of Little Grape Creek defines much of the central terrain. This area of West Texas is characterized by its drainage network, featuring tributaries like Wheeler Br and Spring Br that feed into the larger creek systems. Man-made interventions in the natural hydrology are prominent, with the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir capturing runoff to manage the watershed. These structures indicate a land-use pattern focused on water conservation and flood control in an environment where moisture is a critical resource. A network of rural county routes, including Co RD 374 and Co RD 467, provides access through the private ranch lands and rolling hills that surround Grape Cr and Elm Cr.
