2019 Map of Troy

About this map

Troy and its surrounding rural landscapes in Bell Co are defined by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, illustrating the deep roots of 19th-century settlement in this part of Texas. Landmarks such as Old Troy Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Roberts Cem are preserved amidst a landscape etched by the drainage of Big Elm Creek and Cottonwood Creek. The transition from rural acreage to the industrial expansion of Temple is visible in the southern portion of the map, where the Belco settlement and Buckshot Ranch Airport sit near the modern NE H K Dodgen Loop. The intersection of traditional geography, like the small community of Pendleton, with modern infrastructure highlights the evolution of the corridor between Waco and Temple. Tributaries including Kings Br and Pecan Cr cut through the terrain, marking the land use patterns that have sustained this region for generations.
