About this map

Eastland serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, where the confluence of the N Fork Leon River and Middle Fork Leon River defines the drainage of the region. The town's grid is dense with named streets, leading toward municipal landmarks like the Eastland Municipal Airport and Lake Brelsford. To the east, the settlement of Olden sits along the rail lines and major thoroughfares, illustrating the importance of transport corridors to these rural communities.

Water management is a defining characteristic of this terrain, evidenced by numerous reservoirs and small bodies of water such as Ringling Lake, Old City Lake, and Lake Olden. These features, alongside smaller creeks like Colony Cr, show how the landscape has been engineered to support the local population. Genealogists may find value in the location of Pleasant Grove Cem and the outlying community of Morton Valley in the northern portion of the map.
