A small orientation guide to the historic junction and the mainline bypass.

TxDOT places the relief route west of Cresson, connecting to US 377 about a mile south and a mile north of the historic US 377/SH 171 junction. This schematic separates that mainline from the old town-center alignment, now US 377 Business. Official relief-route description ↗

Follow US 377 northeast toward Benbrook and Fort Worth, or southwest toward Granbury. SH 171 is the connection toward Weatherford in one direction and Godley/Cleburne in the other. Directions are orientation, not measured distances or travel times.

Bluejack Ranch’s developer gives 5100 Kelly Road, Aledo, for its private club. It is not pinned to an exact parcel here. Bear Creek/Kelly Ranch and the other communities have their own local geography and services. Bluejack location ↗ · Read the existing neighborhood guide.

The diagram is an editorial schematic, not surveyed cartography or a navigation map. It shows no city limits, ETJ, school zones or utility boundaries. Verify a property’s service and jurisdiction directly with the relevant authority.
