2016 Map of Cranfills Gap

About this map

Cranfills Gap serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, situated at the junction of FM 219 and several local routes along the Hamilton and Bosque county line. The settlement is surrounded by a cluster of cemeteries that offer significant value for genealogical research, including the Kidd Thompson Cem, Cranfills Cem, and the uniquely named Cox-Burton Graves. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises and drainage systems, with Cranfills Mtn and Rattlesnake Mtn overlooking the Goar Valley. Numerous seasonal and perennial watercourses, such as Meridian Creek and Mustang Cr, carve through the hills. Private aviation is present at the Francis Ranch Airport and Parrish Airstrip, while the rural character is maintained through a network of county roads serving isolated homesteads and ranch lands.
