1960 Map of Deanville

About this map

The settlement of Deanville and its surrounding countryside are defined by a complex network of waterways that converge in central Burleson County. The winding East Yegua Creek serves as a primary geographical anchor, accompanied by its Old Channel and various tributaries like Buffalo Creek and Cottonwood Creek. The landscape transition from Lee County is marked by several long-established rural community hubs, including Porters Chapel and Providence Ch. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, such as the San Antonio Prairie Cem, Chriesman Cem, and Hranite Cem. The mapping of these small landmarks alongside early water features like Baloar Lake provides a detailed view of the rural Texas homestead pattern before modern development altered these small agricultural communities.
