About this map

The Leon River meanders through this portion of Coryell County, defining a landscape where rural development meets the eastern edge of Gatesville. The city's concentration of historical burial grounds, including the Masonic Cem, Odd Fellows Cem, and Oak Grove Cem, suggests a long-standing community core with distinct fraternal and civic identities. Just north of the main settlement lies the State Juvenile Training School Cem, a poignant reminder of the area's institutional history.

To the east, the terrain is shaped by the drainages of N Greenbriar Cr and S Greenbriar Cr, where smaller communities like South Mountain and Fort Gates are established along the highway corridors. The presence of the Longhorn Auxiliary Landing Strip and McGregor Airport indicates the regional importance of aviation and military infrastructure in this central Texas corridor. For those tracing family history, the map provides an exceptionally high density of cemetery locations, from the Coryell Valley Cem in the north to the Brown Cem near Turnback Cr.
