2019 Map of Thornton

About this map

Thornton serves as the central hub of this Limestone County landscape, where the local Railroad and a network of Farm-to-Market roads like W FM 1246 converge. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Pleasant Grove Cem, Pippin Cem, and Cobb Cem, which suggest long-standing rural settlements and generational ties to the land. To the east, the area around Davis Prairie remains largely open, drained by a complex system of small waterways such as Steele Cr, Rocky Cr, and Keel Cr. This late-2010s survey illustrates a territory that maintains its traditional Texas agricultural character, with winding county roads like LCR 780 and Old Thornton Hwy connecting remote homesteads and stream crossings across the undulating terrain north of the Steele Creek watershed.
