2012 Map of Ennis West

About this map

Bardwell Lake dominates the central landscape of this 2012 survey, its southern reach bounded by the town of Bardwell. This region of Ellis County exhibits a transition from established urban centers to vast agricultural expanses. In the northeast, the Ennis Commercial Historic District and Old City Mills represent the area's deep-rooted industrial and commercial heritage. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it documents several historic burial grounds including Boren Cem, Templeton Cem, and Sanderson Cem. Aviation history is also present, with both Ennis Municipal Airport and the private Flying O Airport serving the area. Waterways like Waxahachie Cr and Mustang Cr weave through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have historically supported local farming.
