2012 Map of Abilene West

About this map

Dyess Air Force Base dominates the western landscape of this Taylor County region, illustrating the significant military footprint on the outskirts of Tye. The area is characterized by a dense network of suburban developments and essential institutions, including the campus of McMurry Univ and local landmarks like Blue Sox Stadium. A series of creeks, including Little Elm Cr, Indian Cr, and Cat Claw Cr, navigate the terrain, often intersecting with major transit corridors like W Overland Trl and Arnold Blvd. Smaller aviation and community sites, such as the Flying B Ranch Airstrip and the Little Elm Cem, provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the growth of West Texas at the start of the 2010s. The presence of Truitt Davis Lake and Elmwood Memorial Park further defines the recreational and civic character of the Abilene periphery.
