2016 Map of Eagle Springs

About this map

Whitson sits at the intersection of rural routes where the borders of Coryell, McLennan, and Bell counties converge. This Central Texas landscape is defined by the winding course of the Leon River, which creates the prominent Horseshoe Bend before widening into the northern reaches of Belton Lake. The area's settlement history is etched into the terrain through a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Eagle Springs Cem, Station Creek Cem, and Mount Zion Cem. Small rural clusters like Meador Grove and Stampede are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and county lanes such as Mother Neff Pkwy. The presence of the Tick Hill Airfield and numerous small creek systems like Onion Cr and Stampede Cr illustrate a landscape used for both local agriculture and regional transportation in the early 21st century.
