About this map

The Ennis Commercial Historic District anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, reflecting a century of growth in Ellis County. This 2010 survey shows the developed streets of Ennis transitioning into the broader agricultural and water management systems of the Texas blackland prairies. The western half is defined by a series of critical water control structures, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 19 Dam and Site 20 Dam along Mustang Creek, which feed into the extensive wetlands of Waxahachie Creek.

To the south, the massive footprint of Bardwell Lake and the Bardwell Dam dominates the terrain near the town of Bardwell. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are preserved across the area, from the larger Myrtle Cemetery and Saint Joseph Cemetery in town to the more rural Boren Cemetery, Templeton Cemetery, and Sanderson Cemetery, each marking early family settlements and community roots.
