2010 Map of Belton

About this map

Belton and the western edge of Temple anchor this central Texas landscape where the Leon River and Lampasas River converge. The town's historical foundations are visible through the Baylor Female College Historic District and the Belton Commercial Historic District, alongside industrial landmarks like the Belton Yarn Mill and the Belton Standpipe. To the north, the massive Belton Dam contains Belton Lake, significantly altering the hydrology of the river valley. The region is marked by its numerous burial grounds, including the North Belton Cemetery, South Belton Cemetery, and East Belton Cemetery, providing a dense record for genealogical research. Transportation and infrastructure are central to the layout, featuring the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad Bridge and the State Highway 53 Bridge crossing near the Temple City Lake Dam. Smaller communities like Midway, Hobbs, and Taylors Valley appear as suburban nodes connected by a developing road network including S General Bruce DR and University DR.
