2010 Map of Thorndale

About this map

The town of Thorndale serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, situated near the headwaters of several drainages. The surrounding countryside is defined by an extensive water management system, illustrated by numerous reservoirs and dams such as Soil Conservation Service Site 20 Reservoir and City Lake Number 1. This network of small basins supports the agricultural character of the region between Brushy Creek and Salty Creek. Genealogists will find this map particularly useful for its density of burial sites, including family and community-named landmarks like Connell Cemetery, Thomson Chapel Cemetery, and the Pleasant Retreat Cemetery. Further south, the rural settlements of Conoley and Salty anchor a web of county roads that navigate the subtle rises between Holynok Creek and Little Sandy Creek.
