Geography

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 952 square miles (2,470 km), of which 935 square miles (2,420 km) are land and 16 square miles (41 km) (1.7%) are covered by water.

Lake Waxahachie is located about five miles south of Waxahachie in Ellis County, Texas. Owned and operated by Ellis County Water Control and Improvement District Number One on behalf of the city of Waxahachie, the lake was formed by impounding the Waxahachie Creek in 1956. The water covers about 650 acres and has a maximum depth around 50. The former community of South Prong was located beside the creek before the lake was created. There has been a country club and a two-acre public park with boat ramp since the lake was completed. The lake is a recreational resource for the entire county.
