2022 Map of Burkett

About this map

The border between Coleman and Brown counties divides this rural landscape, where the settlements of Burkett and Grosvenor anchor a territory defined by seasonal watercourses and low mountain ranges. Significant family history is preserved at the Burkett Cemetery, Smith Cemetery, and Lewis Family Cemetery, suggesting generations of ranching and farming heritage near Pecan Bayou. The terrain is punctuated by the Barefoot Mountains and Holloway Mountains, along with local landmarks like Red Knob. Hydrological features including Jolley Lake, McReynolds Spring, and various conservation sites such as Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir illustrate the management of the watershed in this North Texas region. The road network of local connectors and farm-to-market routes like FM 585 links these scattered homesteads across the drainage basins of Gobbler Branch and Turkey Creek.
