About this map

Lorena and its surrounding McLennan County communities are captured here during a period of significant suburban expansion south of Waco. The map illustrates the emerging corporate boundaries of Woodway, Hewitt, and Robinson, contrasting established town centers with new residential developments like the Mobile Home Park. Education and community infrastructure are central to the landscape, evidenced by the Midway High Sch and Lorena High Sch.

Waterways such as Castleman Creek, Flat Creek, and Bull Hide Creek drain the undulating terrain, while localized industry is marked by a Quarry and various utility installations. Genealogists will find value in the documentation of the Lawson Cem and the Chapel Hill Memorial Park, while transportation researchers can trace the path of Pilgrim Lane and several major pipeline corridors that intersect the region.
