2010 Map of Williams

About this map

Elba Cemetery and Scott Cemetery anchor this rural landscape in Hardeman County, reflecting the deep-rooted family lineages that settled the plains of North Texas. The settlement of Williams sits at the junction of FM 680 and Horton Rd, serving as a central point in a vast grid of farm-to-market roads and section lines. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the winding course of Tepee Creek and Papoose Creek in the north, and North Groesbeck Creek flowing through the southern portion of the quadrangle. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of multiple cemeteries, including the Johnson Cemetery near Squaw Creek, offers a precise record of early community sites that often outlast the small settlements they once served. The map's detailed road network, featuring names like Nippert Rd and Howeth Rd, illustrates the legacy of land ownership and local travel routes in this agricultural region.
