About this map

Burleson serves as a focal point for this study of north-central Texas, situated along the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning from rural agricultural uses to suburban expansion, with purple-tinted revisions showing significant growth around Crowley and south of South Seminary. This document is a valuable resource for genealogical research, identifying numerous family-centric landmarks such as Prairie Springs Cem and the Oak Grove Ch and its adjacent Oak Grove Cem.

The terrain is defined by low-lying drainages including Village Creek and Deer Creek, punctuated by notable elevations like Brushy Mound and Turkey Peak. Industrial and infrastructure details are evident through the presence of several Gravel Pits and the proximity of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. From the Redchain Research Farm to the small community of Moselle, the map captures the mid-century character of the Tarrant and Johnson County line.
