About this map

Turnersville sits at the northern edge of this mid-century survey, situated near the confluence where the Middle Bosque River meets several small tributaries like Thorp Branch. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted rural community in central Texas, centered around family-named landmarks and local congregations. To the south, the landscape is defined by the winding course of Coryell Creek and the settlement of White Hall.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous community sites, including Liberty Ch and Coryell Valley Ch. The presence of several burial grounds, such as Liberty Cem, Coffee Cem, and Miller Cem, provides a detailed record of the area's early residents. Industrial activity of the era is represented by a Caliche Pit located near Pickens Branch, indicating the local extraction of materials for the region's road network.
