1962 Map of Ennis West

About this map

Ennis serves as the focal point of this Ellis County landscape, situated at a major crossroads of rail and water. The town is flanked by a trio of burial grounds, including Myrtle Cemetery, St Joseph Cem, and Templeton Cem, which offer significant genealogical reference points. To the west, the expansive Bardwell Lake dominates the terrain, created by the Bardwell Dam across Waxahachie Creek. This reservoir represents a significant mid-century alteration to the natural drainage, inundating the confluence of local waterways.
