2022 Map of Benoit

About this map

Benoit and Blanton anchor this central Texas landscape, where the drainage of Mustang Cr and its tributaries carve a network through Runnels County. The terrain is defined by seasonal waterways and local landmarks such as Northington Lake and the prominent Dry Hollow to the south. Historically significant for genealogy researchers, the Norwood Cem sits east of the north-south corridor of Co RD 157. The map illustrates a rural Texas economy sustained by a grid of county roads, including FM 382 and Co RD 132, which connect isolated homesteads and ranch lands. Small watercourses like Mud Cr, Hog Cr, and Cow Br trace the natural topography of the region, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns that have influenced land use and settlement since the earliest ranching days.
