2016 Map of West

About this map

West serves as the primary hub of this McLennan County landscape, where the street grid is bisected by the Interstate 35 corridor. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the surrounding countryside, marked by several significant burial grounds including National Cem to the northwest and Saint Mary's Cem south of the main township. The map illustrates a transition from the structured residential blocks of the town to an expansive agricultural network drained by Cottonwood Cr, Rice Cr, and Elm Cr. To the southeast, smaller communities such as Tours and Leroy maintain their distinct identities, anchored by landmarks like Saint Martins Cem. Modern water management is evident through features like the Grade Stabilization Structure 103 Reservoir, which reflects the ongoing efforts to regulate the drainage basins of the Texas Blackland Prairies.
