2019 Map of Thorndale

About this map

Thorndale sits at the intersection of modern transport and deep-rooted community history along the Williamson Co and Milam Co line. This survey shows the town's concentration of local landmarks, including the Saint Paul Lutheran Cem and Thorndale Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in the area. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of Salty Cr, Brushy Cr, and Sandy Cr, which meander through a countryside marked by numerous small cemeteries such as Salty Cem, Thomson Chapel Cem, and Connell Cem. This distribution of rural burial grounds indicates a long history of family homesteads and small church communities like the one at Salty. Further south, the map details water management features such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 24 Reservoir and City Lake Number One, illustrating the ongoing relationship between the agricultural landscape and regional water resources.
