About this map

The Paluxy River winds through the limestone-cut landscape of Somervell County, anchoring the regional hub of Glen Rose. This survey reveals the town's northwestern expansion, where residential streets like Litigation St and Stadium Dr transition into the rural ranch lands that define the western reaches of the county. The settlement of Glass serves as a western waypoint along the primary east-west road corridor, illustrating the dispersed settlement pattern of the Texas Hill Country fringe.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several remote burial grounds, including the Lanham Mill Cem near the river and the Nancy Smith Cem to the west. A complex drainage network of seasonal creeks and branches, such as Bowden Br, Barker Br, and White Bluff Cr, carves the terrain between the central river valley and the Circle P Ranch Airport. This mapping captures the balance between the established community center at Glen Rose and the traditional agricultural homesteads that remain scattered across the surrounding hills.
