2010 Map of Gordon

About this map

Palo Pinto Creek winds through this central Texas landscape, connecting a network of local reservoirs and agricultural land. The map centers on Gordon, with nearby rural settlements like Coalville and Blue Flat providing a window into the community's historical development. The area is marked by a high concentration of burial sites, including the Old Gordon Cemetery, New Gordon Cemetery, and Swank Cemetery, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local families. Terrain features like Swank Mountain and Clayton Mountain rise above the drainage basins of Barton Creek and Saline Creek. Transport and infrastructure are defined by Gordon Junction and the small siding at Judd Switch, illustrating the rail and road connections that sustained these small towns. The presence of Clayton Spring and numerous small dams, such as James Lake Dam, highlights the vital role of water management in this cattle and farming country.
