2012 Map of Temple

About this map

The rail-and-creek landscape of Bell County is anchored here by the expanding city of Temple and the outlying settlements of Heidenheimer and Oscar. This 2012 survey shows the convergence of vital local waterways, including Knob Cr, Boggy Cr, and Little Elm Cr, which define the drainage patterns south of the metropolitan center. Educational and agricultural institutions are prominently marked, with the Temple Coll campus in the city and the extensive Blackland Experimental Farm situated to the southwest. Genealogists will find a concentration of local burial grounds, ranging from Evergreen Cem and Hillcrest Cem near the city center to more rural locations like Greathouse Cem and Wedel Cem. The map illustrates the transition from the dense urban grid of Gober and central Temple to the agricultural plains of eastern Bell County, where Cottonwood Cr winds through open country toward Little Flock.
