2016 Map of Valera

About this map

Valera anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the local road network of Young St and 2nd St converges near the watercourses of Home Cr and Bead Mountain Cr. The area reflects a history of small-town settlement and rural land management, evidenced by the presence of both the Old Valera Cem and the Glen Cove Cem to the northwest. Water management is a defining characteristic of this terrain, with Hords Cr Lake serving as a significant geographical feature alongside numerous specialized basins like Soil Conservation Service Site 36 Reservoir. The distribution of these reservoirs and springs, such as Post Oak Spring, suggests a landscape shaped by the necessity of reliable water access for livestock and local agriculture in Coleman County. A network of ranch roads and state highways like FM 153 connects these remote points of interest across the varied topography of the Mustang Br and McCall Br drainages.
