2013 Map of Valley Wells

About this map

The Nueces River winds through this South Texas landscape in Dimmit County, shaping a region defined by ranching and resource extraction. The settlement of Valley Wells sits at the intersection of Ranch Road 1019 and Ranch Road 1558, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural territory. This 2013 survey illustrates the local dependence on water management in an arid climate, with several significant reservoirs including Buckhorn Lake, Kone Lake, and Chip Briscoe Lake dotting the terrain. The presence of the Good Luck Oil Field in the northeast corner underscores the industrial activity that has long supported the local economy. Further south, the Diamond H Ranch and its associated Diamond H Ranch Airport indicate the scale of private landholdings in this part of the state, while numerous ephemeral streams like Appurceon Cr and Sauz Mocho Cr drain toward the river.
