2016 Map of Tunis

About this map

The settlement of Tunis serves as a central point in this Burleson County landscape, situated near the winding course of the Brazos River and its associated bottomlands. The eastern boundary is defined by the river and numerous water features like Moehlman Slough, Butler Bayou, and the remnants of an Old River channel. This network of sloughs and lakes, including Black Lake and Palmer Lake, suggests a complex flood plain history where agricultural roads now navigate between drainage systems like Reed Creek and Carrington Creek. Local heritage is anchored by several small burial sites, including the Old Bethlehem Cem, Salem Cem, Draper Cem, and Carr Cem. The modern transportation layout is dominated by the Presidential Corridor E and a grid of Farm to Market roads and county routes that connect these rural homesteads and family cemeteries.
