2012 Map of McDade

About this map

The settlement of McDade serves as the focal point in this 2012 survey, situated along the southwestern rail and road corridor. This pocket of Central Texas is defined by its deep genealogical roots, visible in the cluster of burial grounds north of the main settlement, including both New Knobbs Springs Cem and Old Knobbs Springs Cem near the community of Knobbs Springs. The landscape is characterized by its drainage network, where W Yegua Cr and Paint Cr carve through the terrain beneath local elevations like The Knobbs and Yegua Knobbs. Rural life is etched into the map through numerous ranch roads such as Edmonson Ranch Rd and Private Road 3071, which connect isolated homesteads and cemeteries like Sanders Cem and High Hill Cem to the primary transit lines of Old Hwy 20.
