About this map

The city of Burleson serves as a central hub on this 2010 topographic record, illustrating the suburban expansion south of Fort Worth along the Interstate 35W corridor. This landscape is characterized by a mix of established neighborhoods, newer residential developments, and aviation infrastructure including Fort Worth Spinks Airport and smaller private strips like Luck Field and Rafter J Airport. These airports, alongside the Redchain Research Farm, highlight the region's specialized land use as it transitioned from open ranch land to a multifaceted metropolitan periphery.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites like the Crowley Cemetery, Burleson Cemetery, and Prairie Springs Cemetery near South Seminary. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Turkey Peak and Brushy Mound, which stand out against the drainage networks of Village Creek and Deer Creek. These waterways and landmarks provide a framework for understanding the historical settlement patterns that preceded the modern expansion of towns like Crowley, Briaroaks, and Garden Acres.
