2022 Map of Mertens
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Milford, Brandon, and Mertens anchor this rural landscape where the borders of Hill, Ellis, and Navarro counties converge. The geography is defined by a dense network of creek systems including Richland Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and White Rock Cr, which have been heavily modified for flood control and water management. This is evidenced by the numerous numbered reservoirs, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 42 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 57 Reservoir, which dot the drainages. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Old Brandon Cem and Brandon Cem, which serve as physical links to the early families of this agricultural region. The map captures the intricate grid of county roads and farm-to-market routes, like FM 1243, that connect these small Texas communities.
