About this map

Alexander serves as the primary community in this portion of Erath County, situated at a junction of roads and rail corridors that follow the natural contours of the Central Texas landscape. The drainage patterns of the N Bosque River and its various tributaries, such as Green Cr and Live Oak Cr, dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like FM 914 and Co RD 246.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local family history preserved through the distribution of small, scattered burial grounds. From Bowman Ridge Cem in the north to the Alexander Cem, Clairette Cem, Hancock Cem, and Caudle Cem, these sites reflect the early settlement patterns of rural families. The modern landscape is further punctuated by the J. F. Ranch Airport, illustrating the evolution from agrarian roots to contemporary land use.
