2022 Map of Water Valley

About this map

The North Concho River and its primary tributary, Concho River, carve a distinct path through this central Texas landscape, which is marked by the transition from river bottomlands to higher relief features like McLaughlin Mtn. Human settlement is concentrated along the Old Sterling City Hwy corridor, where the historic Water Valley Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogists and local historians. The surrounding terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the eastern and western forks of Chalk Cr and the waters of Ranger Spring. This 2022 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the Tom Green and Coke County line, showing a landscape still dominated by traditional ranch roads like Harper Rd and Gaston Rd that follow the natural contours of the West Texas breaks.
