2012 Map of Valley Mills

About this map

The N Bosque River winds through this Central Texas landscape, anchoring the settlement of Valley Mills and its surrounding rural community. The township layout shows a concentration of local history at the river's edge, where the Old Valley Mills Cem and Valley Mills Cem reside alongside thoroughfares like FM 56. Outside the main town center, the landscape transitions into ranch land and small rural clusters such as Rock Springs. Notable social and industrial features include the Waco Boys Camp along the river and the Valley Mills Municipal Airport to the southeast. Water management is a defining characteristic of the area, evidenced by numerous named tanks and reservoirs like Taylor Lake, Markum Lake Number 1, and Markum Lake Number 2 that support the local agricultural economy. Terrain features like Thompson Hollow and the Horseshoe Bend of the river highlight the distinct local topography of Bosque County.
