About this map

Belton and the southern edge of Temple anchor this study of Bell County’s central corridor, where the Leon River and Lampasas River converge. The landscape is defined by its significant educational and civic institutions, most notably the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and the Bell County Justice Center. Water dominates the northern and southern reaches, from the shores of Belton Lake to the winding course of Nolan Creek as it passes through the heart of the city.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, including North Belton Cem, South Belton Cem, and several rural grounds like Mesquite Grove Cem and Mary Allen-Oliver Cem. This detailed look at the modern suburban and rural interface captures long-established communities like Taylors Valley and Hobbs alongside newer developments, tracing the evolution of central Texas settlement patterns through its complex road network, including the Chisolm Trail Pkwy.
