2022 Map of Adell

About this map

The settlement of Adell serves as the focal point for this survey of north-central Parker County, where a network of rural roads such as Advance Rd and FM 1885 connects isolated family homesteads and ranch lands. The topography is defined by the Clear Fork Trinity River in the northeast and prominent elevations like Bald Knob and Slipdown Mtn. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in small burial grounds, including the Mader Family Cem, Brown Family Cem, and Risch Cem, documenting the area's deep-rooted family histories. Notable water features like Grub Lake and Reservoir Number One suggest the local management of water resources in a region characterized by numerous seasonal drainages such as Moreland Cr and Cottonwood Cr. The presence of the Blo Airport and several private lanes indicates the continued rural character of the landscape in the early 21st century.
