2022 Map of Boz

About this map

Chambers Creek and its many winding tributaries, including N Fork Chambers Creek and S Fork Chambers Creek, define the landscape of this portion of Ellis County. The area is characterized by a high density of small, family or community-named waterways like Oak Branch, Greathouse Branch, and Bell Branch Branch that carve through the local topography. This network of creeks likely influenced the placement of early settlements and rural crossroads such as Maypearl, Boz, and Five Points. Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of local burial sites, including the Oak Branch Cemetery, Greathouse Cemetery, and Bethel Cemetery. The southern edge of Waxahachie is visible at the top of the sheet, while the George P Shanks Airport stands as a more modern landmark in this predominantly agricultural region.
