Bardwell Lake dominates the central landscape of this Ellis County survey, where the waters of Waxahachie Cr and its tributaries meet the dammed reservoir. The city of Ennis occupies the eastern portion of the map, showing a dense network of residential streets and industrial corridors that transition into the smaller rural settlements of Bardwell to the south and Garrett to the north. This 2019 edition provides a look at the expansion of Ennis toward New Lake and Old Lake, while the surrounding countryside remains marked by family-named crossroads and established flight paths for the Ennis Municipal Airport. Local genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the quadrant, including Myrtle Cem, Saint Joseph Cem, and more remote sites like Sanderson Cem and Templeton Cem, which help locate former family homesteads near watercourses like Mustang Cr and Elm Br.
