2012 Map of Alvarado

About this map

Alvarado serves as the focal point of this Johnson County landscape, where the convergence of modern transportation corridors meets long-established rural settlements. This survey captures the transition of the northern Texas prairies as residential subdivisions like Happy Hill and Pleasant Point expand amidst a network of creeks and branches. The hydrologic pattern is defined by the N Fork Chambers Cr and Mountain Creek, which feed toward Alvarado Lake in the southwest corner. Local history is deeply embedded in the land through numerous burial sites, including the Glenwood Cem within the town limits and the more remote Center League Cem and Cahill Cem. Aviation history is also noted with the presence of Goodlett Field Airport, illustrating the region's infrastructure development as it balances its agricultural roots with suburban growth.
