Turnersville

Turnersville, also known as Buchanan Springs, is on Farm Road 182 twelve miles northeast of Gatesville in northeastern Coryell County. Both the Chisholm qv and Bosque trails were supposed to have gone through the area. In 2004 the Lone Tree, one of the oldest landmarks in the county, still stood two miles east of the townsite. In the 1860s it guided travelers, settlers, and cow drivers to a plentiful water supply, a flowing spring on the open prairie of lush rangeland, abundant with buffalo , deer, turkey, horses, and longhorn cattle
