About this map

The southeastern edge of Cleburne anchors this landscape, where the G. C. and Santa Fe Railroad railroad tracks cut through the terrain near several significant burial grounds, including the expansive Cleburne Memorial Park Cemetery and Oak Cem. Beyond the city limits, the map reveals a rural network of small community centers centered around local institutions like Liberty Chapel Sch and Friendship Ch.

Watercourses such as Buffalo Creek and Mustang Creek define the drainage of the region, while an Old Railroad Grade in the south points to a changing transportation network. The presence of multiple scattered gravel pits and family-named landmarks like Faulkenbury Cem and Watts Chapel provides essential detail for those researching the early industrial and social foundations of Johnson County before mid-century suburban expansion reached this area.
