Turnersville sits at the northern edge of Coryell County, where the upper reaches of the Middle-Bosque River and its various tributaries carve through the central Texas landscape. This map documents a rural agricultural region defined by its creek-bottoms and family-named landmarks. The settlement pattern here is anchored by several burial grounds that point to the area's ancestral roots, including Turnersville Cem near the town center and the more outlying Miller Cem, Crawford Cem, and Coffee Cem. The hydrography of the region is notably intricate, with numerous named branches and creeks such as Goldys Br, Thorp Br, and Pickens Br draining into the larger river system. A network of ranch-to-market roads and county lanes, such as FM 217 and FM 182, connects these dispersed homesteads and grazing lands, illustrating the modern rural infrastructure of this part of the Bosque and Coryell County borderlands.
