About this map

The Brazos River snakes through the heart of this McLennan County landscape, defining the northern boundary near Wortham Bend and Gholson. This modern survey reveals a countryside in transition, where large river bends once dominated by rural acreage now feature residential developments like Cougar Landing. The settlement of China Spring serves as a central hub, situated near the confluence of several local drainages including Rock Cr and Live Oak Cr.

Aviation and history are etched into the terrain, from Pocock Airport in the northwest to the Patrick Cem near the river's edge. To the south, the North Bosque River winds toward Waco, passing the small community of Erath. The map captures the intricate network of county roads and farm-to-market routes that connect these riverside settlements, documenting the persistent value of the riverfront as the area continues to develop.
