About this map

Dyess Air Force Base dominates the western landscape of this Taylor County region, showcasing the sprawling layout of the military installation alongside the western reaches of Abilene. The map illustrates a transitional geography where the dense grid of city streets meets the surrounding prairie and suburban fringes of Tye, Caps, and Wylie. This modern survey reveals the intricate road network supporting the region's growth, from major transit corridors like the I-20 Service Road to local thoroughfares like Old Anson Rd.

Water plays a central role in the terrain's definition, with the meanders of Elm Creek and Little Elm Creek cutting through the landscape. Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks such as the Little Elm Cemetery and the expansive Elmwood Memorial Park, while recreational spaces like Oscar Rose Park and Truitt Davis Lake provide a sense of the community's modern infrastructure.
