About this map

Dyess Air Force Base dominates the western landscape of this mid-2010s survey, illustrating the significant military footprint on the outskirts of Abilene. The map tracks the suburban and institutional growth of Taylor County, anchored by the McMurry Univ campus and the sprawling grounds of Elmwood Memorial Park. Smaller communities like Impact, Tye, and Caps surround the central urban core, connected by a dense network of thoroughfares including W Stamford St and N Danville Dr.

Hydrological features such as Cat Claw Cr, Buttonwillow Cr, and Little Elm Cr weave through the residential blocks, while the presence of the Little Elm Cem provides a point of interest for those tracing local family lineages. From the recreational waters of Truitt Davis Lake in the north to the Fairways Development Reservoir Number 2 in the south, the map documents a city deeply integrated with its semi-arid environment and regional drainage systems.
