2012 Map of Vance

About this map

Nueces River valley life centers around the settlement of Vance in this part of Real County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of canyons and peaks, where drainage systems like Pulliam Creek and Little Hackberry Creek have carved numerous named hollows into the terrain. Local landmarks such as Seep Spring Mountain and Bullhead Mountain stand above the drainage basins, with several water sources like Greenhouse Spring and Round Hole Spring providing critical points of interest in this arid environment. The presence of the Flying Bull Ranch Airport and the nearby Flying Bull Ranch suggests the continued importance of large-scale ranching operations and private aviation in modernizing this traditional Texas Hill Country ranching district. Transport is facilitated by Ranch Road 335, which follows the river's path, and various rural routes like Cedar Creek Road that connect the isolated hollows.
