2016 Map of Midlothian

About this map

Midlothian and the nearby community of Sardis anchor this 2016 survey of northern Ellis County, where the sprawling suburban street networks meet the creek-fed ranchlands of central Texas. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Waxahachie Cr and its numerous tributaries, including N Prong Cr and S Prong Cr. Local heritage is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Mount Zion Cem and Sardis Cem, while more modern infrastructure is represented by the Mid-Way Regional Airport. The map documents a distinct mix of established residential blocks, like those near Cemetery Rd, and large water features such as Hi-View Ranch Lake and Diamond J Ranch Lake Number 2. These landmarks illustrate the transition of the region from a purely agricultural area to a growing corridor between larger urban centers.
