2022 Map of Ranger

About this map

Ranger serves as the focal point of this Eastland County landscape, where the modern transport corridor of Interstate 20 bisects a region long defined by its creeks and ranching roads. The area's history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the centrally located Pioneer Cem and Evergreen Cem near the town center, and the more isolated Merriman Cem to the south. These landmarks, along with Ranger College and the Ranger Municipal Airport, illustrate the community's development from a frontier railroad town into a regional educational and transit hub. To the west, the smaller settlement of Olden sits along the road network, while the northern reaches transition into the drainage basin of Palo Pinto Cr. The southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of the Leon River and Lick Br, highlighting the importance of water sources like Winsett Spring and Hodges Lake in this part of North Central Texas.
