2010 Map of Aledo

About this map

Aledo and the surrounding ranch lands of western Tarrant County are documented here as the area transitioned from its rural roots into a suburban landscape. The historic E Bankhead Hwy passes through this corridor, north of where the Clear Fork Trinity River winds through the southern half of the quadrangle. Local family history is rooted in the presence of the Underwood Cemetery, Mcconnel Cemetery, and Brown Cemetery, which sit among rolling topography carved by Marys Creek and its various branches. Smaller private aviation sites like the Triple S Airport, Markum Ranch Airport, and Bucker Field underscore the sprawling nature of land ownership here during this period. Water resources such as Lake Montex and Petitfils Lake provide focal points for the landscape, while the settlement at Iona serves as a marker for the area's older residential patterns.
