2010 Map of Alexander

About this map

Alexander sits at the center of this rural Erath County landscape, serving as a focal point for the network of farm-to-market roads and county routes that crisscross the terrain. The map reveals a land heavily managed for water conservation, defined by numerous reservoirs such as Soil Conservation Service Site 21 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 13 Reservoir. These projects, often tied to the drainage basins of the North Bosque River and Green Creek, illustrate the intersection of agricultural needs and modern hydrological management. Local history is anchored by several family-named burial grounds, including the Bowman Ridge Cemetery, Hancock Cemetery, and Caudle Cemetery, which reflect the generations of families who settled these ridges. To the northeast, the Clairette Cemetery marks the periphery of the quadrangle, while landmarks like Bowman Ridge and the private J F Ranch Airport further distinguish the local geography.
