2016 Map of Cresson

About this map

Cresson sits at the convergence of several county lines in North Texas, serving as a hub where Hood, Johnson, and Parker counties meet. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape of established ranching and rural aviation, featuring small landing strips like Bourland Field, Chigger Field, and the uniquely named Chicken Strip. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Mustang Creek and Bear Cr, with the latter flowing toward the upper reaches of Benbrook Lake in the northeast. Family history is well-preserved across this quadrangle through several burial grounds, including the Keyes Cem, Goforth Cem, and Day-Radcliff Cem, which anchor the rural properties. The settlement of Wheatland appears in the northern section, while the road network, including FM 1187 and Pork Chop Hill, reflects the gradual modernization of this crossroads region south of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
