2016 Map of Kurten

About this map

Kurten and the surrounding Brazos County landscape are defined by a dense network of family and community cemeteries, reflecting generations of settlement in east-central Texas. The terrain moves from the open String Prairie toward the winding courses of Mathis Cr and Ferrill Br. Small communities like Wixon Valley, Moore, and Tabor are connected by a web of local roads such as Bickham Cemetery Rd and Dilly Shaw Tap Rd. This 2016 record shows the enduring footprint of rural life, where small burial grounds like Schultze Cem, New Bethlehem Cem, and Evans Cem are tucked into the drainages of Bee Cr and Wickson Cr. The layout of these sites, often named for early families, provides a clear map for genealogists tracing the lineage of this agricultural region.
