About this map

Chriesman sits at the northern end of this Burleson County survey, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by its riparian networks and residential water developments. The topography is shaped by the winding course of Davidson Creek and its many tributaries, including Frost Branch, Dry Creek, and Hooker Creek. These natural waterways are complemented by a series of engineered water bodies, most notably the residential community surrounding Cade Lakes to the south.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of several burial sites, including Chriesman Cemetery, Shiloh Cemetery, and Cox Cemetery. The map also illustrates the transition from rural agricultural land to organized subdivisions, as seen in the street layouts of Cade Lakes with its distinct names like Magnolia Dr and Lakeside Dr. Infrastructure such as the East-West Lake Dam and Cade Dam Number 3 further underscores the mid-20th-century focus on water management and recreation in this part of Texas.
