2019 Map of Elk

About this map

Tradinghouse Creek Reservoir and the adjacent New Lake Mart dominate the central landscape of this McLennan County region, reflecting the significant water management and recreation infrastructure east of Waco. The settlement of Hallsburg sits just south of the reservoir, while the community of Elk is situated to the north along Elk Rd. This modern survey reveals a countryside transition where agricultural roots meet residential expansion, connected by a network of rural routes like Old Sawmill Rd and Red Gate Rd. For those tracing family histories, several burial grounds are preserved across these acres, including Harper Cem, Pavelka Cem, Lone Oak Cem, and Goshen Cem. Further south, the map details the terrain around Battle and Harrison, where the land is drained by waterways such as Manos Cr and Brushy Cr. The presence of the Texas Valley Air Field in the northwest corner highlights the area's ongoing utility for local aviation.
