About this map

Tradinghouse Cr Reservoir dominates this portion of McLennan County, shaping the landscape around the settlements of Hallsburg and Elk. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex water management and rural residential patterns east of the Waco area, featuring several smaller bodies of water like New Lake Mart, Battle Lake, and the connected Felton Upper Lake and Felton Lower Lake. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists, as it identifies several family and community burial grounds, including Harper Cem, Pavelka Cem, Lone Oak Cem, and Goshen Cem.

Transportation and infrastructure are defined by a network of rural routes such as Old Mexia Rd and Coline Pkwy, while the presence of the Texas Valley Air Field north of Hallsburg points to local aviation history. Named creek systems like Williams Cr, Riggs Cr, and Brushy Cr segment the terrain, providing a look at the drainage patterns that support the region's agricultural and residential development.
