2012 Map of Gatesville West

About this map

The Leon River meanders through the central corridor of this Coryell County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by seasonal waterways and agricultural plateaus. To the south, the northern boundary of the Fort Hood Military Reservation establishes a significant federal footprint near Bald Knob, while the local infrastructure supports both aviation and education through the Gatesville Municipal Airport and the Coryell Cosmetology Coll. Rural life is etched into the map via a dense network of county roads, including the descriptively named Moccasin Bend Rd and Chicktown Rd. Genealogists may find value in the location of Hemelline Cem, situated west of the river. The landscape is further punctuated by small bodies of water like Walker Lake and Anchor Lake, which serve as vital landmarks in this predominantly rural Texas region.
