About this map

Tunis and the surrounding Brazos River bottomlands are defined by a network of creeks and oxbows that reveal the shifting hydrology of Burleson County. In the north, Cooks Point serves as a local hub near the drainage of Dead C and Rocky Br. The landscape is heavily influenced by the presence of Old River and Moehlman Slough, indicating former river channels that now create a wetland environment including Black Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites across this rural area. Burial grounds such as Old Bethlehem Cem, Carr Cem, Salem Cem, and Draper Cem are preserved amidst a dense grid of county roads. The map also traces small tributaries like Sessums Br, Reed Cr, and Carrington Cr which feed into the larger basins of Palmer Lake and the river valley, illustrating the agricultural and pastoral character of this Central Texas region.
