2010 Map of Kurten

About this map

Kurten serves as a primary focal point in this central Texas landscape, characterized by a complex network of small cemeteries and rural settlements. The area is defined by a dense cluster of burial grounds, including the Old Cottonwood Cemetery, Bickham Cemetery, and Ebenezer Cemetery, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Brazos County. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous seasonal waterways such as Ferrill Branch, Bee Creek, and Wickson Creek, illustrating a classic post-war rural settlement pattern where homes and small communities like Wixon Valley and String Prairie are situated along farm-to-market roads. Roads like JM Moore Schoolhouse Rd and Dilly Shaw Tap Rd hint at former community centers and historical property boundaries that continue to shape the local geography into the 21st century.
