2010 Map of Joppa

About this map

The North Fork San Gabriel River and the Russell Fork San Gabriel River dominate the drainage patterns of this central Texas landscape, creating a network of creeks and branches that historically shaped the placement of local settlements. Joppa and Shady Grove represent small, established communities connected by rural routes like Shady Grove Rd and F-M 1174. For genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including the Strickling Cemetery near the north fork and the Bear Creek Cemetery further south near Bertram.
