2019 Map of Glen Rose West

About this map

Glen Rose serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern edges of the Texas Hill Country, where the Paluxy River winds eastward through a complex network of creeks and limestone drainages. The landscape is defined by the intersection of rural aviation and historic community landmarks, with both the Rancho Hielo Brazos Airport and the Circle P Ranch Airport positioned near sprawling ranch lands. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds across the terrain, including Lanham Mill Cem near the riverbanks and the Nancy Smith Cem located further west near the settlement of Glass. The northern reaches are characterized by a growing recreational infrastructure, featuring an extensive trail system that includes the Buckeye Trail, Cedar Brake Outer Loop Trail, and the Horseshoe Equestrian Trail. These paths, alongside named drainages like Mustang Cr and White Bluff Cr, illustrate the transition from agricultural use to modern leisure and residential development.
