2019 Map of Burkett

About this map

The boundary between Coleman and Brown counties divides this central Texas landscape, where the settlements of Burkett and Grosvenor serve as local anchors. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Pecan Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including Turkey Creek and Cottonwood Branch. This hydrology is supplemented by early 21st-century water management features like the Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir and Jolley Lake. Notable elevations such as the Barefoot Mountains and the Holloway Mountains rise above the drainage basins, creating a rugged topography of ridges and hollows like Bowden Hollow. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific landmarks like McReynolds Spring and provides the exact locations for the Smith Cemetery and Panther Creek Cemetery, which preserve the legacy of the area's early ranching and farming families.
