About this map

The Leon River winds through this central Texas landscape, carving a valley between the prominent elevations of Bread Tray Mtn and King Mtn. In the northeastern corner, the river feeds into the upper reaches of Belton Lake, where the Oglesby-Neff Park Rd marks the recreation and conservation efforts along the shoreline. The settlement of Leon Junction occupies a central position north of the river, while further south, the community of The Grove sits near the crossing of the Coryell Co and Bell Co line.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous rural burial grounds, including Seaton Cem, King Cem, Saint Paul Cem, and Graham Cem. These sites, along with several creek systems like Flint Cr, Preachers Cr, and Metheglin Cr, define the rural character of the region. The road network, including S St HW 36 and several Farm-to-Market roads, connects these dispersed settlements and agricultural tracts.
