2019 Map of Temple

About this map

Temple serves as the central urban hub of Bell County, anchored by its extensive municipal street grid and the notable Veterans Administration Lake. The surrounding landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Boggy Cr and Little Elm Cr, which influence the layout of smaller satellite communities. To the southeast, the small town of Heidenheimer and the dual-settlement Little River-Academy highlight the area's ongoing expansion beyond the main city center. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of regional burial grounds, ranging from large urban sites like Hillcrest Cem and Evergreen Cem to more secluded rural locations such as Lancaster Cem and Little Flock Cem. This 2019 survey documents the modern arterial roads and rural routes that connect these long-standing communities across the central Texas plains.
