About this map

Cranfills Gap serves as the central hub of this Central Texas landscape, situated along the boundary where Bosque Co and Hamilton Co meet. The settlement is surrounded by a cluster of family and community landmarks, including the Kidd Thompson Cem, Cranfills Cem, and Cranfills Gap Cem. To the east, Saint Olaf Cem sits near Pierson Spring, anchoring the local history of the Norwegian heritage prominent in this part of the state.

The topography is defined by numerous named peaks and valleys, such as Cranfills Mtn, Flat Top Mtn, and the broad Goar Valley. The drainage of Meridian Creek and its various prongs carve through the limestone terrain, while small private aviation strips like Francis Ranch Airport and Parrish Airstrip indicate the modern ranching character of the region. This 2022 survey documents the intersection of rural agriculture and historical memory through its preservation of specific family-named landmarks.
