2010 Map of Gatesville East

About this map

The Leon River carves a winding path through this central Texas landscape, anchoring the development of the regional hub at Gatesville. The city's eastern expansion is clearly marked by the adjacent communities of South Mountain and Fort Gates, showing a shift from high-density urban blocks to more dispersed residential and agricultural patterns. This 2010 survey is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial grounds including Restland Cemetery, Odd Fellows Cemetery, and the Fort Gates Cemetery. The map also captures several man-made water features south of the city, such as Peni-Bilt Lake and the Kercho Lake Dam. Named roads like Old Waco Rd and Straw Mills Rd reflect the older transportation corridors that once connected these rural settlements before the modernization of the local highway system.
