2022 Map of Little Grape Creek

About this map

Little Grape Creek and its complex network of tributaries define this rural landscape on the boundary between Runnels and Coleman counties. The topography is dominated by the erosion patterns of Grape Creek and Elm Creek, which carve through the terrain in a region primarily dedicated to ranching and water management. A central feature of the modern hydrologic landscape is the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir, reflecting mid-to-late 20th-century efforts to manage runoff and soil erosion in West Texas. The road network, consisting of routes like Co RD 374 and Co RD 329, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting dispersed homesteads and agricultural operations. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of natural drainage systems like Wheeler Branch and Spring Branch with the established county lines and rural infrastructure.
