2016 Map of Bristol

About this map

Bristol stands as the central settlement in this eastern Ellis County landscape, situated near the headwaters of Persimmon Br and Bear Cr. The region is defined by a sophisticated water management system, illustrated by numerous numbered reservoirs including Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir and larger bodies like Hefner Lake Number 1 and Johnson Lake. This 2016 survey captures a rural Texas geography where historic burial sites such as Hefley Cem, Union Hill Cem, and Crisp Cem remain significant landmarks. To the east, the Trinity River marks the boundary with Kaufman County, while the settlements of Alsdorf and Crisp anchor the southern portion of the quadrangle. The road network, including FM 660 and FM 813, connects these communities across a terrain dissected by waterways like Fourmile Cr and Smith Cr.
