About this map

Dyess Air Force Base dominates the western landscape of this 2010 study, showing the extensive infrastructure and housing networks of the military installation alongside the expanding suburban edges of western Abilene. The map captures a detailed view of the city's residential growth, particularly toward the south near Wylie and the community of Caps.

A complex drainage system, including Cat Claw Creek, Elm Creek, and Little Elm Creek, weaves through the developed areas, often punctuated by recreational and memorial spaces like Blue Sox Stadium and Elmwood Memorial Park. To the north, the transition to rural ranching is marked by the Flying B Ranch Airstrip and Truitt Davis Lake, providing a clear record of land use at the intersection of defense, agriculture, and urban expansion.
