2010 Map of Lorena

About this map

Hewitt and Lorena sit at the center of this 2010 topographic record, illustrating the suburban expansion south of Waco. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including the winding Bull Hide Creek, Castleman Creek, and Chambers Creek, which drain the prairie toward the southeast. This era of development is marked by a complex grid of residential streets such as Surrey Ridge Ln and Sun Valley Blvd, pushing into previously rural tracts. Notable landmarks like the Heathrow Airport and Waco Memorial Park are visible alongside critical water management infrastructure, specifically the numerous dams and reservoirs established by the Soil Conservation Service. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of the Lawson Cemetery, situated near the banks of Bull Hide Creek.
