2010 Map of Wilmeth

About this map

Wilmeth serves as the central settlement in this rural Runnels County landscape, which is defined by a sophisticated system of water management and agricultural infrastructure. The topography is shaped by the drainages of Valley Creek, Mustang Branch, and both Little Coyote Creek and Big Coyote Creek. These waterways are punctuated by numerous federally managed features, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 18 Reservoir, Soil Conservation Service Site 19 Reservoir, and the Soil Conservation Service Site 20 Dam, illustrating the mid-century transition toward intensive soil conservation practices in West Texas. For those researching local history, the Wilmeth Cemetery sits just southwest of the primary crossroads, while the presence of Allen Lake and its associated Allen Lake Dam in the southeast corner provides additional landmarks for tracing property lines and historical land use. The map's grid of county roads, such as Co RD 381 and FM 384, reveals the enduring spatial organization of this ranching and farming community.
