2016 Map of Benoit

About this map

Benoit serves as a central anchor in this agricultural landscape of eastern Runnels County, situated at the intersection of several country roads. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, most notably Mustang Cr and its tributaries, including Middle Mustang Cr and Cow Br, which carve through the land towards Dry Hollow. To the northwest, the settlement of Blanton and the waters of Northington Lake suggest the dispersed nature of local ranching and farming operations during this era. Genealogists and local historians will find the Norwood Cem located along Co Rd 157, a significant landmark for tracing early families in the region. The map reflects a landscape where water management and transportation routes like FM 382 and Co Rd 136 have long dictated the rhythm of rural life.
