About this map

The Missouri Kansas Texas railroad corridor anchors this McLennan County landscape, running north-south through the village of Ross and the community of Elm Mott. This mid-century survey reveals the area's transition toward industrial and aviation growth, most notably marked by the sprawling James Connally Airport and the neighboring settlement of James Connally. Purple revisions from the 1970s illustrate the expansion of Lacy-Lakeview and new industrial installations like the Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal.

Away from the rail lines and growing urban fringes, the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Little Tehuacana Creek and Wildcat Creek. Local history is preserved in several small rural nodes, including Gerald Ch and the Gerald Cem to the east. These traditional markers, alongside the Elm Mott Cem and Stanfield Cem, provide clear reference points for genealogists tracing family locations before the suburban expansion of later decades.
