2016 Map of Mereta

About this map

Mereta sits at the center of this rural agricultural landscape in Tom Green County, defined by the expansive Lipan Flat. The settlement is marked by its Po and a grid of local roads, including Broadway, serving the surrounding ranching and farming community. The terrain is characterized by a series of intermittent drainage systems that underscore the arid nature of this West Texas region. Waterways such as Lipan Cr, Dry Lipan Cr, Ninemile Cr, and Hog-Marsh Cr carve subtle paths across the flatlands, eventually leading toward Puddle Cr in the north. The map reveals a highly structured secondary road network, with numbered routes like 4th Rd, 5th Rd, and S Rd 3 providing access to remote homesteads and fields. Family names are preserved in the thoroughfares, such as Hoelscher Rd, Gesch Rd, and Kellermeir Rd, offering valuable leads for local genealogical research.
